Local Users
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.
