NETGEAR Managed Switches Software Administration Manual, Release 8.0 Local Authorization User/Group Configuration When using Local authentication, the administrator provides user identities for Captive Portal by adding unique user names and passwords to the Local User Database. This configuration is global to the captive portal component and can contain up to 128 user entries (a RADIUS server should be used if more users are required). A local user may belong to one or more groups. There is one group created by default with the group name "Default" to which all new users are assigned. All new captive portal instances are also assigned to the "Default" group. The administrator can create new groups and modify the user/group association to only allow a subset of users access to a specific captive portal instance. Network access is granted upon successful user name, password and group verification. CLI: Creating Users and Groups Create a group whose group ID is 2.
