Guest User Connections
When guests have their temporary Username and Password, they can connect in
one of two ways:
l Standard Login: In most networks, the Guest User plugs in their Device into
the wired network or connects to an open wireless access point. The
networking client (known as the “supplicant”) on the user’s Device brings
up a login dialog. The user can provide the login credentials for the
configuration.
l Captive Portal: If the captive portal tool is used, the user plugs in their
Device into the wired network or connects to an open wireless access point
and launch web browser. The captive portal intercepts the user’s web
traffic and displays a login page in the browser. The user can provide the
login credentials.
