Configuring user profiles
Overview
A user profile saves a set of predefined parameters, such as a QoS policy.
The user profile application allows flexible traffic policing on a per-user basis. Each time a user
passes authentication, the device automatically applies the parameters in the user profile to this
user.
The user profile restricts authenticated user behaviors as follows:
1.
After the authentication server verifies a user, the server sends the device the name of the user
profile specified for the user.
2.
The device applies the parameters in the user profile to the user.
3.
When the user logs out, the device automatically removes the user profile parameters.
