ProSAFE Wireless Controller WC9500

Manage Users, Accounts, and Passwords

The wireless controller supports different types of users and accounts. You can add, change,

and remove users and accounts.

User and Account Concepts

The wireless controller supports three types of users: management users, WiFi users (WiFi

clients), and captive portal users. All of these users must provide their login name and

password to be authenticated by the wireless controller’s internal authentication server and to

access the wireless controller’s web management interface or wireless network.

• Management users. These users are allowed access to the wireless controller’

s web

management interface. The wireless controller supports four types of management users:

- Administrators. Administrative users (admins) with read and write capabilities.

These users can change the configuration of the wireless controller.

- Read-only users

. These users are allowed access to the wireless controller’

s web

management interface but can access only the Monitor main navigation tab and the

Help main navigation tab. These users cannot change the configuration of the

wireless controller.

- Guest provisioning users.

These users can configure only captive portal users, that

is, they can access only the

User Management configuration menu tab under the

Maintenance main navigation tab.

- License management only users. These users can configure only licenses, that is,

they can access only the

License configuration menu tab under the Maintenance

main navigation tab (for more information, see Manage Licenses on page 261).

• WiFi users. Users with credentials to access the wireless network.

These users do not

need to use the captive portal or the guest portal to access the wireless network, nor is

their access subject to expiration.

• Captive portal users. Users with credentials to access the captive portal and who are

granted temporary access or access without expiration.

In addition to the users, you can also configure captive portal accounts that you use in

combination with captive portal users. Accounts specify the period during which wireless

access is available and the amount that is charged for it.

Note: For information about password requirements, see Table 9 on

page 349.
