Automatically Generating Guest Accounts
You can generate a specified number of guest accounts.
1
Under the list of accounts, click Generate.
2
In the Auto Generate Guest Account window, configure the settings for all the accounts you are
generating:
Profile: Select the Guest Profile to generate the accounts from.Number of Accounts:
Enable Account: Check this for the accounts to be enabled upon creation.
Auto-prune Account: Check this to have the account removed from the database after its
lifetime expires.
Enforce login uniqueness: Check this to allow only one instance of each generated account
to log into the security appliance at one time. Leave it unchecked to allow multiple users to use
this account at once.
Activate account upon first login: Check this option to make this account active when the
user first logs in to WGS.
Number of Accounts: Enter the number of accounts to generate.
Account Name: Enter a name for the accounts. If you generate more than one account at a
time, a number will be added at the end of each account name to make the name unique.
Account Password: The password is automatically generated by default. If you do not want to
use the generated password, enter a new one, and confirm it in the Confirm Password field,
or click Generate to generate a new password.
Account Lifetime: This setting defines how long an account remains on the security appliance
before the account expires. If Auto-Prune is enabled, the account is deleted when it expires. If
the Auto-Prune checkbox is cleared, the account remains in the list of guest accounts with an
Expired status, allowing easy reactivation. This setting overrides the account lifetime setting in
the profile.
Session Lifetime: Defines how long a guest login session remains active after it has been
activated. By default, activation occurs the first time a guest user logs into an account.
Alternatively, activation can occur at the time the account is created by clearing the Activate
account upon first login checkbox. The Session Lifetime cannot exceed the value set in the
Account Lifetime. This setting overrides the session lifetime setting in the profile.
Idle Timeout: Defines the maximum period of time when no traffic is passed on an activated
guest services session. Exceeding the period defined by this setting expires the session, but
the account itself remains active as long as the Account Lifetime hasn't expired. The Idle
Timeout cannot exceed the value set in the Session Lifetime. This setting overrides the idle
timeout setting in the profile.
Comment: Enter a descriptive comment.
