- Terminology
a. Select the user to modify under Users
b. Click Edit to modify user settings.
c. Click OK.
8. To delete a user:
a. In the Users section, select the username to delete
b. Click Delete.
c. Click OK.
9. To delete all or multiple users at a time:
a. Select the user names that you want to delete
b. Click Delete All.
c. Click OK.
Deleting a user only removes the user record from the user database, and will not disconnect the online user
associated with the user name.
In the CLI
To configure an employee user:
(Instant AP)(config)# user <username> <password> radius
(Instant AP)(config)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
To configure a guest user:
(Instant AP)(config)# user <username> <password> portal
(Instant AP)(config)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
Configuring Authentication Parameters for Management Users
You can configure RADIUS or TACACS authentication servers to authenticate and authorize the management
users of a W-IAP. The authentication servers determine if the user has access to administrative interface. The
privilege level for different types of management users is defined on the RADIUS or TACACS server instead of
the W-IAP. The W-IAPs map the management users to the corresponding privilege level and provide access to
the users based on the attributes returned by the RADIUS or TACACSserver.
You can configure authentication parameters for local admin, read-only, and guest management administrator
account settings through the Instant UI or CLI.
In the Instant UI
1. Navigate to System >Admin. The Admin tab details are displayed.
