SonicOS 5.8.1 Administrator Guide
–
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. 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.
Step 4 Click OK to generate the account.
To Generate Multiple Accounts
Step 1 Under the list of accounts, click Generate.
Step 2 In the Settings tab of the Generate Guest Accounts window configure:
–
Profile: Select the Guest Profile to generate the accounts from.
–
Number of Accounts: Enter the number of accounts to generate.
–
User Name Prefix: Enter the prefix from which account names are generated. For
example, if you enter Guest the generated accounts will have names like “Guest 123”
and “Guest 234”.
–
Comment: Enter a descriptive comment.
Step 3 In the Guest Services tab, configure:
–
Enable Guest Services Privilege: Check this for the accounts to be enabled upon
creation.
–
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.
–
Automatically prune account upon account expiration: Check this to have the
account removed from the database after its lifetime expires. This setting overrides the
Auto-Prune setting in the guest profile, if they differ.
–
Account Expires: This setting defines how long an account remains on the security
appliance before the account expires. If Auto-Prune is enabled here, 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 expires setting in the profile.
