Local Users

You can configure a CP 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 configure up to 128 authorized users in the local database.
To add and configure a local user:
Select Captive Portal > Local Groups/Users.
In the Local Users Settings area, configure these parameters:
• Captive Portal Users—Choose Create to create a new user.
• User Name—Enter the name for the new user.
Click Add User.
The Local Users Settings area reappears with additional options. Configure
these 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 that you type is
visible. When disabled, the text is not masked as you enter it.
• Away Timeout—Enter the period of time that a user remains in the CP
authenticated client list after the client disassociates from the WAP device.
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
value configured here has precedence over the value configured for the CP
instance, unless the user value is set to 0. When it is set to 0, the timeout value
configured for the CP instance is used.
• Group Name—Choose the assigned user group. Each CP instance is
configured to support a particular group of users.
