Managing Guest Pass Access

By default, all of your users are allowed to issue temporary “day use” guest passes for visi-
tors and contractors. Such a guest pass allows its user to connect to the WLAN.

You must decide whether or not to permit all—or some—users to generate guest passes.

Additionally, you may also want to review the default settings and policies that control 
guest-pass use of the network. There are options you can fine-tune to fit your work environ-
ment.

Activating guest pass access in ZoneDirector

1

Go to 

Configuration

 > 

Guest Access

.

The 

Guest Access

 page appears.

2

Scroll down to 

Guest Access > Guest Pass Generation

FIGURE 4-6

3

If you require a specific authentication server, toggle the 

Authentication Server

 drop-

down list to select the appropriate server.

4

Set the guest pass expiration parameters by selecting the radio button by either of the 
following:

Guest Pass will expire in the amount of time specified after it is issued

: This 

type of guest-pass is valid from the time it is first created to the specified expira-
tion time, even if it is not being used by any end user.

Guest Pass will expire in the amount of time specified after it is first used

: This 

type of guest pass is valid from the time the user uses it to authenticate to the 
ZoneDirector 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 are finished, click 

Apply

 to save your settings and make this new policy 

active.
