Configuring WGS Account Profiles

At the global or group level, and for SonicWALL appliances running SonicOS Standard 3.8 and above, GMS supports the configuration of WGS account profiles. You can set up different profiles that accommodate the need for guest accounts with specific account lifetimes, session time limits, idle time outs, and so forth. This screen also provides an Enable/Disable setting so that you can disable a profile without deleting it and losing the configuration.

To add or edit a WGS Account Profile:

1	Select a wireless SonicWALL appliance running SonicOS Standard.

2	Expand the WGS tree and click Profiles.

3	On the WGS Account Profiles page, click Add New WGS Profile. The Add Profile page displays.

4	In the WGS Account Profile Settings dialog box, type a descriptive name into the Profile Name field.

5	In the User Name Prefix field, type the user name that the guest logs in with. Do not include the domain.

6	Select Enable Account to activate the account for immediate use.

7	Select Auto-Prune Account if you want the account to be removed after its lifetime expires.

8	Select Enforce Login Uniqueness to prevent multiple logins at the same time for this account.

9	For Account Lifetime, enter a number in the first field and then select Days, Hours, or Minutes from the pull-down list. The account expires after this time period.

10	For Session Lifetime, enter a number in the first field and then select Days, Hours, or Minutes from the pull-down list. The guest’s login session expires after this time period.

11	For Idle Timeout, enter a number in the first field and then select Days, Hours, or Minutes from the pull-down list. The guest is logged out after being idle for this amount of time.

12	Optionally type a descriptive comment into the Comment field.

13	Click Update. Clicking Reset repopulates all fields with the default values and allows you to start over.
