Create local guest user at local controller

  • 1.  Create local guest user at local controller

    Posted Dec 08, 2011 02:34 PM

    We are using local user database to create account for guest.  We normally create account from the master controller for a guest user at any locations, any controllers.  My AOS version 6.1.2.3

     

    Can I create a guest user at a local controller, so that the account only works at that local controller?  I tried to do that, but user create at local controller fail Captive portal authentication (it works if I create this user at the master):

     

    #  show log user-debug all

    Dec 8 13:27:16 :522042:  <NOTI> |authmgr|  User Authentication Failed: username=ess MAC=00:15:00:5c:0e:f4 IP=172.22.47.247 auth method=Web auth server=Internal

     

    Regards,

    You can force all requests for the local database to point to the local controller, instead of the master by doing:

     

    config t

    aaa authentication-server internal use-local-switch

     

    This is run on the local controller.

    Is there a way to import the guest-db from the master to the local controllers?  I am looking at taking out a master controller for some time and will apply the local controller authentication, but then all the guest users will need to create new accounts.  Version 5.0.4.4

     

    Thanks
