Working with Guest Passes
Guest passes are temporary privileges granted to guests to access your wireless LANs. The NXA-
WAPZD1000 provides many options for customizing guest passes, controlling who is allowed to issue guest
passes, and controlling the scope of access to be granted.
Activating Guest Pass Generation
To grant authenticated users the privilege to generate guest passes:
1.
Go to Configure > Guest Access.
2.
Scroll down to the Guest Pass Generation section.
3.
In Authentication Server, select the authentication server that you want to use to authenticate users who
want to generate guest passes.
If you configured an AAA server (RADIUS, Active Directory or LDAP) on the Configure > AAA
Servers page and you want to use that server to authenticate users, select the server name from the
drop-down menu. (For more information, please refer to the Using an External Server for User
Authentication section on page 97).
If you want to use the NXA-WAPZD1000’s internal database, select Local Database.
4.
Set the guest pass validity period by selecting one of the following options:
Effective from the creation time: This type of guest pass is valid from the time it is first created to
the specified expiration time, even if it is not being used by any end user.
Effective from first use: This type of guest pass is valid from the time the user uses it to authenticate
with the NXA-WAPZD1000 until the specified expiration time. An additional parameter (A Guest
Pass will expire in X days) can be configured to specify when an unused guest pass will expire
regardless of use. The default is 7 days.
5.
When you finish, click Apply to save your settings and make this new policy active.
Generating and Printing a Single Guest Pass
You can provide the following instructions to users with guest pass generation privileges. A single guest pass
can be used for one-time login, time-limited multiple logins for a single guest user, or can be configured so that
a single guest pass can be shared by multiple users.
To generate a single guest pass:
1.
On your computer, start your Web browser.
2.
In the address or location bar, type the URL of the NXA-WAPZD1000 Guest Pass Generation page:
https://{NXA-WAPZD1000-hostname-or-ipaddress}/guestpass
3.
In User Name, type your user name.
Although you can use an external AAA server for authentication, you can not use an
AAA server for accounting on a guest WLAN. AAA accounting is only supported on
802.1X EAP WLANs.
Remember to inform users that they can access the Guest Pass Generation page at
https://{NXA-WAPZD1000-hostname-or-ipaddress}/guestpass.
The following procedure will guide you through generating and printing an individual
guest pass.
Before starting, make sure that your computer is connected to a local or network
printer.
