Creating Devices During Self-Registration - Paired Accounts
Paired accounts is a means to create a standard visitor account with credentials, but to have a MAC account created
in parallel that is directly tied to the visitor account. These accounts share the same role, expiration and other
properties.
This requires a vendor passing a
mac
parameter in the redirect URL. ClearPass Guest does not support querying the
controller or DHCP servers for the client's MAC based on IP.
To edit the registration form fields, go to
Configuration > Forms and Views
. In the
guest_register
row, click the
Edit Fields
link. The Customize Form Fields page opens. If you do not see mac or mac_auth_pair in the list, click
the
Customize fields
link above the list. Click the
Edit
link in the field’s row. In the Define Custom Field form, edit
the registration form fields:
l
Add or enable
mac
n
UI:
Hidden field
n
Field Required: optional
n
Validator:
IsValidMacAddress
l
Add or enable
mac_auth_pair
n
UI:
Hidden field
n
Initial Value:
-1
l
Any other expiration options, role choice, surveys and so on can be entered as usual.
You will see an entry under both
List Accounts
and
List Devices
. Each should have a
View Pair
action that cross
links the two.
