Configure a Guest User Account

This option lets you accommodate guests that prefer traditional user-based authentication instead of social app integrated authentication. One account can be assigned to a specific user or one account can be shared by multiple guest users.

Note

Alternatively, you can upload multiple preconfigured user accounts.

To configure a guest account:

1. From the left menu, select Configure > Policy > Captive Portal.
2. From the Guest Users tab, select Add. Alternatively, select an existing gateway from the list to edit.
3. Edit the fields, including username and password. Select a status.

   Status

   Set an initial status for this account. Disable creates the account but not for immediate use. Enable creates the account and makes it immediately active.

4. (Optional) Select the arrow to the right of the Additional Details section to expand it. If you want to assign the user account to one user, complete the fields. If the account is being used by multiple guests and you want to enforce a network access policy for your organization, you can set just the expiration date without setting the contact information fields.
