The user group named Default is built-in and cannot be deleted. You can create up to two
additional user groups.
To add local user groups:
Select Captive Portal > Local Groups in the navigation pane.
Enter a Group Name and click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.
To delete a group, select it in the Captive Portal Groups list, select the Delete Group check box,
and click Save.
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:
Select Captive Portal > Local Users in the navigation pane.
Enter a User Name and click Save.
Additional fields appear to configure the user.
Enter the parameters:
• User Password—Enter the password, from 8 to 64 alphanumeric and special characters.
A user 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 minutes. The default value is 60. The timeout
