Chapter 7: Managing User Accounts
Enabling And Disabling User Accounts
Then, choose an action such Edit, Enable, Disable, or Remove.
7.2.4
Enabling And Disabling User Accounts
A user account must be enabled for the user to log on as a client and use the access point.
You can Enable or Disable any user account. With this feature, you can maintain a set of
user accounts and authorize or prevent users from accessing the network without having to
remove or re-create accounts. This can come in handy in situations where users have an oc-
casional need to access the network. For example, contractors who do work for your
company on an intermittent but regular basis might need network access for 3 months at a
time, then be off for 3 months, and back on for another assignment. You can enable and
disable these user accounts as needed, and control access as appropriate.
7.2.5
Enabling A User Account
To enable a user account, click the checkbox next to the username and click Enable. A user
with an account that is enabled can log on to the wireless access points in your network as a
client.
7.2.6
Disabling A User Account
To disable a user account, click the checkbox next to the username and click Disable.
A user with an account that is disabled cannot log on to the wireless access points in your
network as a client. However, the user remains in the database and can be enabled later as
needed.
7.2.7
Removing A User Account
To remove a user account, click the checkbox next to the username and click Remove.
If you think you might want to add this user back in at a later date, you might consider dis-
abling the user rather than removing the account altogether.
7.3
Backing Up And Restoring A User Database
You can save a copy of the current set of user accounts to a backup configuration file. The
backup file can be used at a later date to restore the user accounts on the AP to the previ-
ously saved configuration.
