they are also suspended here simultaneously, and there is no need to suspend them
here as well.
Built-in Authentication: User Maintenance
If the DHCPatriot system is
using authenticated DHCP, and
not using an external RADIUS
server, then Built-in
Authentication is in use. This
allows users to be added
edited, suspended (singly or
en-masse), and deleted. Static
IP addresses can be assigned
to users in this interface as
well. Some sort of identifier
may be added as well, such as
a customer id or simply the
customer’s name.
To access the user
maintenance area, expand the
Auth DHCP Actions menu and
click on Built-in Authentication:
User Maintenance. A screen
similar to that shown in figure 13.2 should appear. From this screen, using the form, a
user can be added. A user can be suspended, edited and deleted from the list at the
bottom. A mass suspend of users can also be performed.
Adding a User
To add a user, complete the
form similar to the one shown
in figure 13.2. Identifier is an
optional field and should be
used for the customer’s name
or some other identifying
information such as a customer
billing ID. Both username and password are required fields. Please note that password
may be left blank to auto-generate a password. Static IP Address is an optional field
that should only be completed if your network administrator has advised that the
customer will be receiving a static or fixed IP address. Simultaneous use restriction
restricts the user to the number of simultaneous IP addresses chosen here. This
overrides the General Settings default setting (even if it is not set). After completing the
form, click on Commit. Figure 13.3 shows the resulting information that will appear at
the top of the screen. The user information, including password, can be confirmed here.
