Dell PowerConnect W Clearpass 100 Software Access Code Logins TechNote - Page 3

Access Code Logins Version 1.0 Introduction NOTE This technical note explains the creation of bulk accounts and a login page that require a single access code for access to the network. This method of authentication can be convenient for short-term access where security does not play as important of a role as security. The accounts will be valid for 1 year, or 4 hours after the account first logs on. The default username and password based authentication remains the preferred and recommend deployment for guest access. Audience This document is intended for network administrators and system integrators deploying an amigopod-based visitor management solution. Basic familiarity with the amigopod Visitor Management Appliance is assumed. For in-depth information about the features and functions of the amigopod appliance, refer to the amigopod Deployment Guide. Document Overview The first section of the document explains configuring guest manager to create multiple accounts with the ability to login in with only the username. We will refer to this as an Access Code.

Disclaimer The topics of network design, security architectures and visitor access are complex subjects, and no single document can hope to cover all of the possible combinations of network equipment, network design, deployment requirements, and device configurations, nor can all the possible security implications for a particular recommendation be covered. Therefore, while you read this document, it is best to consider it as a guide to developing your own understanding of the network design topics covered, and as a basis for further investigation.
