ADMINISTRATOR All of the previous demo profiles are aimed at the non‐technical operators of Amigopod.

There are 2 main sections used for configuration by the IT administrator.
3. By clicking on 'Network Access Servers' you can see where you define all Aruba Mobility Controllers. 4. By clicking on 'User Roles' you can see the various visitor roles which are defined.

7. In many cases though, rather than using local operator accounts, companies will want to integrate the Amigopod login with their existing LDAP/Active Directory server. Once configured, Amigopod can place Amigopod operators into the correct operator profile based on any LDAP attribute, such as a windows group membership, domain name, etc. 8.
9. The application log contains a full audit trail for forensic and can also be used for troubleshooting and testing. Aruba Networks Inc. – Confidential. Further distribution prohibited without prior written consent from Aruba Networks.
