Local Users

You can configure a captive portal instance to accommodate either guest users and authorized users. Guest users do not have assigned user names and passwords.

Authorized users provide a valid user name and password that must first be validated against a local database or RADIUS server. Authorized users are typically assigned to a CP instance that is associated with a different VAP than guest users.

You can use the Local Users page to configure up to 128 authorized users in the local database.

To add and configure a local user:

STEP 1 Select Captive Portal > Local Users in the navigation pane.

STEP 2 Enter a User Name and click Save.

Additional fields appear to configure the user.

STEP 3 Enter the parameters:

•User Password—Enter the password, from 8 to 64 alphanumeric and special characters. A user enter must enter the password to log into the network through the Captive Portal.

•Show Password as Clear Text—When enabled, the text you type is visible. When disabled, the text is not masked as you enter it.

•Away Timeout—The period of time a user remains in the CP authenticated client list after the client disassociates from the AP. If the time specified in this field expires before the client attempts to reauthenticate, the client entry is removed from the authenticated client list. The range is from 0 to 1440
