DESCRIPTION
Type the user name for this user account. You may use 1-31 alphanumeric characters,
underscores(
), or dashes (-), but the first character cannot be a number. This value is case-
_
sensitive. User names have to be different than user group names, and some words are
reserved.
Select what type of user this is. Choices are:
•
admin - this user can look at and change the configuration of the NXC
•
limited-admin - this user can look at the configuration of the NXC but not to change it
•
user - this user has access to the NXC's services but cannot look at the configuration
•
guest - this user has access to the NXC's services but cannot look at the configuration
•
ext-user - this user account is maintained in a remote server, such as RADIUS or LDAP.
•
ext-group-user - this user account is maintained in a remote server, such as RADIUS or
LDAP.
•
guest-manager - this user can log in via the web configurator login screen and create
dynamic guest accounts using the Master Manager screen that pops up
•
mac-address - an external server authenticates wireless clients based on their MAC
addresses. After authentication the NXC maps a wireless client to a MAC address user
account (MAC role). User-aware features control MAC address user access to specific
resources.
This field is not available if you select the ext-user or ext-group-user type.
Enter the password of this user account. It can consist of 4 - 31 alphanumeric characters.
This field is not available if you select the ext-user or ext-group-user type.
This field is available for a ext-group-user type user account.
Specify the value of the AD or LDAP server's Group Membership Attribute that identifies the
group to which this user belongs.
This field is available for a ext-group-user type user account. Select the AAA server to use to
authenticate this account's users.
Enter the description of each user, if any. You can use up to 60 printable ASCII characters.
Default descriptions are provided.
If you want to set authentication timeout to a value other than the default settings, select Use
Manual Settings then fill your preferred values in the fields that follow.
Enter the number of minutes this user has to renew the current session before the user is
logged out. You can specify 1 to 1440 minutes. You can enter 0 to make the number of minutes
unlimited. Admin users renew the session every time the main screen refreshes in the Web
Configurator. Access users can renew the session by clicking the Renew button on their screen.
If you allow access users to renew time automatically, the users can select this check box on
their screen as well. In this case, the session is automatically renewed before the lease time
expires.
Type the number of minutes this user can be logged into the NXC in one session before the user
has to log in again. You can specify 1 to 1440 minutes. You can enter 0 to make the number of
minutes unlimited. Unlike Lease Time, the user has no opportunity to renew the session
without logging out.
Use a user account from the group specified above to test if the configuration is correct. Enter
the account's user name in the User Name field and click Test.
Click OK to save your changes back to the NXC.
Click Cancel to exit this screen without saving your changes.
