Create WCS guest accounts

Hi
I like to know if some one has some solution or input to my questions below
Is there a way to auto generate user and password for guest accounts?
So that you don't have to write in username just click on generate accont and WCS make up a username and password.
And when bulk loading guest user is it posible to configure start date and time not just lifetime of the account  like  when you manual create a guest account?
Regards
Mikael Mattsson

Hi,
no you cannot auto-generate the username. The Lobby Ambassador has to type in the username.
For bulk imports, you cannot schedule a future start time I'm afraid.
This kind of advanced guest feature is more what the NAC Guest Server can do (it's not only for NAC, it's a Guest Server).
Hope this helps,
Nicolas

  • Prime Infrastructure 2.0 can not create the guest account on WLC 5508

    The PI can manage the WLC which means the connection between them is ok, but I am not able to create the guest account on it. The WLC has guest SSID with web auth configured correctly..
    Any idea why?
    Thanks!

    raymond,
    that's good to know that it required :
    1) not only a RW community string
    2) but also as well ssh credentials
    i too would have thought option 1) would be all that was required but it doesn't appear that way w/ your response.
    the only way i'll go to add devices in is by doing both SNMP RW and ssh at the same time.
    now we know
    thanks for pointing this out

  • Can't remove wcs guest account if account has expired on wlc

    Hi. I am running wcs 4.1.91.0. I'm using Lobby Ambassoador functionality. I've found that if you create a guest acount using wcs with a limited lifetime, then after that lifetime period, you cannot delete the guest account from wcs as the account has already expired on the wlc. You get no error message in wcs -it just shows a JavaVoid error message at the bottom of the browser. I'm assuming wcs is trying to delete the account from the wlc but cant because the account is no longer on the wlc. Has this been resolved in a later version of wcs yet??

    Here is the URL Cisco Guest Access Using the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller follow the configuration guide it will help you manage the guest account in WLC :

  • How to create a guest account

    I see that many people mention online about their guest account in 10.4 Tiger. I don't see that option. Is it hidden or does the guest account have a stage name?

    I believe it's a feature of Leopard where it resets the account settings when the user logs out and the next guest user then sees a pristine account.*
    On Tiger a guest account is just a standard account named "Guest" with no password and perhaps a bunch of restrictions set with Parental Controls. However, it isn't reset when somebody logs out (unless you write a script to do it) so it isn't the same as Leopard's.

  • WCS guest account issue

    Hello,
    I having problems with the expiration date of the guest account, sometimes the account expired in the same day of the start date and also sometimes sends a wrong message of expiration date before the end date.
    This is the configuration for one guest account.
    And I received a message of expiration date
    User Active from : Mon Feb 11 09:00:37 CST 2013 User Active until : Mon Feb 11 12:00:37 CST 2013
    The current version of the IOS is  7.0.230.0
    What could be the problem?
    Regards,

    That is only for when when you want them to be able to access the wireless. So if you set the login for 20 days, you can leave off the weekends and they won't be allowed to login.

  • WCS expiring guest accounts early

    Hi Folks, We've had a number of reports from our Service Desk (who create the guest accounts for us) that they've been getting users who have long-term accounts (90days) expire early.
    I've taken a look at the settings and sure enough, today there are accounts on WCS that are showing as expired but have a long life time.
    Example:
    User(x) created on 13th July with an expiry of the 15th Sept
    User(y) created on 12th July with an expiry of the 12th Oct
    This is only a couple listed here but the problem seems to be widespread accross long-life accounts. I've checked the clocks and they're all synced between WCS and the WLC's, when accounts are created they are done through WCS and pushed down to the single mobility anchor (our topology is 6 WLC's split over 2 sites, with a 7th WLC for MA with a toe in the internet DMZ)
    We're running 7.0.172.0 of WCS and 7.0.116.0 on all the WLC's I think the problem has started to occur as it's really only now that we're using longer life-time accounts in anger. 
    Originally the accounts were being deleted by the cleaner process, so it just looked like the accounts were disappearing - we've stopped this and now it just shows that they expire.
    Any suggestions that you can give as to why this might be occuring would be great!  Unfortunaly we can't create 'unlimited' accounts as our policy is that they should have a lifetime of no more than 3 months, so the overhead on monitoring would be too big - so there has to be an automated process.
    Thanks in advance!
    Kev

    I upgraded to WLC 7.0.235.0 and WCS 7.0.230.0 and am still getting users complaining about their accounts expiring early.  Someone please correct me if I have misread something but the WCS is suppose to check the account every so often and re-provision the account based on the expire date set?  We setup our users with 90day accounts that is pushed to two 5508 controllers running the code above, the process works well but the expiration of accounts has become a issue.  Anyone know if the bug was truly fixed in 7.0.235 code or do I need to set the lifetime of the account lower.      

  • Scheduling WCS Guest User Accounts

    Hi all,
    I am question concerning scheduling WCS guest user accounts. I would appreciate having opportunity to schedule WCS guest account as a lobby ambassador. I know it is possible to do that but only in case that you allow (as administrator) for the user "lobby ambassador" set up "lifetime" to unlimited. If you set up a limited lifetime in "Defaults for creating Guest User accounts", the lobby ambassador is not able to schedule WCS guest account because this options is missing.
    Is it possible to do that without this restriction?
    The second issue is the email which consists of the guest user account credentials. Each time the scheduled time comes up, the guest user account credentials are emailed to the specified email address.
    Is it possible to send the credentials right after creating the guest user account and not when the scheduled time comes up which can be a week later?
    Jozef

    No this should not be done because, the credentials are pushed by WCS to the controller only when the time comes.
    Once the WLC confirms the user is created, then WCS goes ahead and send you the credentials.
    Technically this could be added to WCS, it would be a PERs : Personnal Enhancement Request to be filed from your System Engineer, Account / Sales team

  • How to create non-broadcast guest account?

    New Time Capsule 09...
    I have a closed or non-broadcasted account for my master WIFI private account. After creating a Guest account for my employees its SSID for the "Guest" is being broadcasted. I do I make the Guest account from being broadcast like my master account. I'm thinking this feature is not included for Guest?
    Sorry if this question is already poste, don't flame on me:)
    thanks!

    Would like this as an option for the guest account sometime in a firmware update too - as its for friends etc - you'll just tell them the SSID to connect to and it would work rather than broadcasting it. Especially as it is useful for connecting to the Nintendo DS kids bring round - but with that you have to broadcast it with no security!

  • Lobby Admin Guest Account with Two Controllers

    I have two 5508 WLCs.  Both have APs attached to them.  If I create a guest account with the lobby administrator on one, will that user account be able to log in to the network if the client is attached to the ohter WLC?  So far, I have found that I need to create the same user on both WLC's, in order to have the user login.

    No, if you create the Lobby Admin on the WLC it does not cross over to any other WLC>
    Now if you had WCS/NCS you coudl create the user there, and it would be able to push to both WLC.

  • How do I set up a guest account using the AirPort Express  2nd Generation?

    I Just purchased a new 2nd Generation AirPort Express.  The features list and the set-up guide says that I should be able to set up a guest account, but nowhere have I found how to do this.  I am running AirPort Utility 5.6 on my MacBook Air under Lion and I even get a message that I should not make updates using version 5.6 because it is not the appropriate version for the 2nd generation AirPort Express. Software Update says there's nothing new for me. When I search the Apple support site there is not even a version of AirPort Utility 5.6.1 for Lion though there is one for Snow Leopard.  Even when I installed that version on my Mac Mini running Snow Leopard, I could see no way to create a guest account.
    I came across a YouTube video describing a demonstrating how to set up the guest account on Time Capsule and the AirPort Exteme. There it's quite obvious because in the General section there is a tab for setting up the guest account.  There is no such tab in either version 5.6 of the AirPort Utility I'm running under Lion or version 5.6.1 running under Snow Leopard.
    What am I missing?
    -Bill

    Apple assumes that you are connecting the AirPort Express to a simple modem....not a modem/router or gateway type of device......that provides both modem and router functions in one enclosure.
    If you have the AirPort Express connected to a gateway device, the Express is detecting that another router is present on the network, so the Express operates in Bridge Mode to prevent the conflicts that would normally occur when two routers are on the same network.
    Open AirPort Utility 5.6, select the AirPort Express and click Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon, then click the Internet Connection tab
    If the Connection Sharing setting is currently configured to "Off (Bridge Mode)", the Guest Network cannot be enabled with the type of "modem" that you have without breaking some basic networking rules.

  • Password controlled guest accounts on wireless router

    I would like to be able to grant guests temporary access to my home network without giving out my permanent WEP ID.  Is there anyway that I can create a guest account, with a separate password, which I can then eliminate after their need for access is over?   I have the Actiontec MI424-WR router. 
    If there is no hardware based solution to this, does anyone know of third-party software that could do the trick?
    Thanks.
