hi Airhead,

my original post (yesterday) is confusing so i decided to post again with better explanation.

I need to import a list of 500 email addresses into clearpass guest account databas and that process needs to trigger an smtp event to send account details

to each of the users.

I can set up an account manually and that process triggers an smtp event to the user, but how could this from a mass import ?

cheers

Pretty sure this isn't possible.  Next best option might be to allow/enable the "reset password" functionality using the self service portal, that way they can indicate a forgotten password and set their own.

hi Carson,

yes you're right you can't do it.

i was wondering about using a script (using API calls) is this something you have knowledge about?

I'll ask a different question.  Why require login at all?  Why not just a simple AUP or just an open guest network?  Do you have plans to actually track device to email activity?

the customer wants to limit usage to a specific list of emails (parents of pupils) they do not want any pupils using it.

so they have asked the parents for their email addresses.

does this make sense.

i'm open to suggestions.

good question.

the pupils have an AD account and monitored for their usage.

They want to keep it like that.

They don't want them jumping on the guest network hence the requirement for "parent only" access etc.

exactly,

it's got to be an email address and password.

the guest page would be a "username" and "password" backed off to the guest user database.
