Configuring a Guest Provisioning User
The guest provisioning user has access to the Guest Provisioning Page (GPP) to create guest accounts within
your company. The guest provisioning user is usually a person at the front desk who greets guests and creates
guest accounts. Depending upon your needs, there are three ways to configure and authenticate a guest
provisioning user:
l Username and Password authentication — Allows you to configure a user in a guest provisioning role.
l Smart Card authentication
n Static authentication —Uses a configured certificate name and serial number to derive the user role. This
authentication process uses a previously configured certificate name and serial number to derive the
user role. This method does not use and external authentication server.
n Authentication server — Uses an external authentication server to derive the management role. This is
helpful if there is a large number of users who need to be deployed as guest provisioning users.
You can use the WebUI or CLI to create a Guest Provisioning user.
