Customizing Self Provisioned Access, Self-Registration Sequence Diagram

Page 254 highlights

The Column Format may be used to specify how the field's value should be displayed. You may choose from one of the following:  Field Value - The value of the field is displayed as plain text.  Field Value (Un-Escaped) - The value of the field is displayed as HTML.  Boolean - Yes/No - The value of the field is converted to Boolean and displayed as "Yes" or "No".  Boolean - Enabled/Disabled - The value of the field is converted to Boolean and displayed as "Enabled" or "Disabled".  Boolean - On/Off - The value of the field is converted to Boolean and displayed as "On" or "Off".  Date - The value of the field is assumed to be a UNIX timestamp value and is displayed as a date and time.  Duration (from seconds) - The value of the field is assumed to be a time period measured in seconds and is displayed as a duration (for example, "23 seconds", "45 minutes")  Duration (from minutes) - The value of the field is assumed to be a time period measured in minutes and is displayed as a duration (for example, "45 minutes", "12 hours")  Use form options - The value of the field is assumed to be one of the keys from the field's option list. The value displayed is the corresponding value for the key.  Custom expression... - The Display Expression text area is displayed allowing a custom JavaScript expression to be entered. See "View Display Expression Technical Reference" in the Reference chapter for technical information about this display expression and a list of the functions that are available to format the value. The Display Expression is a JavaScript expression that is used to generate the contents of the column. Generally, this is a simple expression that returns an appropriate piece of data for display, but more complex expressions can be used to perform arbitrary data processing and formatting tasks. Customizing Self Provisioned Access Guest self-registration allows an administrator to customize the process for guests to create their own visitor accounts. The registration process consists of a data collection step (the 'register page') and a confirmation step (the 'receipt page'). You can define what information is collected from visitors on the registration page. New fields and data validation rules can be defined with the custom form editor. Specific details about the type of visitor accounts created are also set here. The receipt page also includes a form, although typically this form will only contain static information about the guest account. Several different actions can be included on the receipt page, enabling visitors to obtain their receipt in different ways. The receipt page can also be used to automatically log the guest into a Network Access Server, enabling them to start using the network immediately. Detailed user interface customization can be performed for all parts of the self-registration process. You can define page titles, template code for the page header and footer, and choose a skin that controls the overall look and feel of self-registration. The default user interface customization can be disabled. Self-Registration Sequence Diagram To set up a captive portal with guest self-registration, configure your Network Access Servers to redirect guests to the URL of the 'Go To' link. To complete the portal, ensure that the NAS is configured to authorize users with the ClearPass Guest RADIUS server, and set up the self-registration NAS login to redirect registered guests back to the NAS. 254 | Guest Management ClearPass Guest 3.9 | Deployment Guide

Deployment Guide
The Column Format may be used to specify how the field’s value should be displayed. You may choose from
one of the following:
Field Value
– The value of the field is displayed as plain text.
Field Value (Un-Escaped)
– The value of the field is displayed as HTML.
Boolean – Yes/No
– The value of the field is converted to Boolean and displayed as “Yes” or “No”.
Boolean – Enabled/Disabled
– The value of the field is converted to Boolean and displayed as
“Enabled” or “Disabled”.
Boolean – On/Off
– The value of the field is converted to Boolean and displayed as “On” or “Off”.
Date
– The value of the field is assumed to be a UNIX timestamp value and is displayed as a date and
time.
Duration (from seconds)
– The value of the field is assumed to be a time period measured in seconds
and is displayed as a duration (for example, “23 seconds”, “45 minutes”)
Duration (from minutes)
– The value of the field is assumed to be a time period measured in minutes
and is displayed as a duration (for example, “45 minutes”, “12 hours”)
Use form options
– The value of the field is assumed to be one of the keys from the field’s option list.
The value displayed is the corresponding value for the key.
Custom expression…
– The Display Expression text area is displayed allowing a custom JavaScript
expression to be entered.
See
“View Display Expression Technical Reference”
in the Reference chapter
for technical information about this display expression and a list of the functions that are available to
format the value.
The Display Expression is a JavaScript expression that is used to generate the contents of the column.
Generally, this is a simple expression that returns an appropriate piece of data for display, but more
complex expressions can be used to perform arbitrary data processing and formatting tasks.
Customizing Self Provisioned Access
Guest self-registration allows an administrator to customize the process for guests to create their own
visitor accounts.
The registration process consists of a data collection step (the ‘register page’) and a confirmation step (the
‘receipt page’).
You can define what information is collected from visitors on the registration page. New fields and data
validation rules can be defined with the custom form editor. Specific details about the type of visitor
accounts created are also set here.
The receipt page also includes a form, although typically this form will only contain static information about
the guest account. Several different actions can be included on the receipt page, enabling visitors to obtain
their receipt in different ways.
The receipt page can also be used to automatically log the guest into a Network Access Server, enabling
them to start using the network immediately.
Detailed user interface customization can be performed for all parts of the self-registration process. You
can define page titles, template code for the page header and footer, and choose a skin that controls the
overall look and feel of self-registration. The default user interface customization can be disabled.
