Using Email Registration for Guest Portal Access

    My company has been using a local user account, that I have manually created on the Aruba Local Controllers, for Guest WiFi access. I have set this up using the 'Interactive Captive Portal with authentication' template.  That process has been working well for years and I typically change that password every 6 months.

    It has now been suggested that I should try and setup a different type of Guest login process on the Aruba Controllers.  Specifically I should try to setup the 'Interactive Captive Portal with email registration' template.  I have tried to set this new way but i am having a problem with post authentication.

    After I authenticate the user has a guest profile instead of the desired  post authentication profile that I have selecte din the 'Group' --> 'Configuration' --> 'L3 Authentication' --> 'Captive Portal Authentication' --> 'SSID_Name' --> 'Default Role'. 

    The only difference in the new SSID is using a 'Guest Login' instead of the 'User Login' option.  Which is located in the L3 Authentication Captive Portal Authentication section.    Please see attachment.

    The problem is that the new SSID is not only allowing access to the internet but it is allowing access to the internal network as well and I think it is because i tis using the 'Guest Login' option instead of the 'User Login' option.

    When the user is logged with the Email registration SSID (Test1)I can run a command from the local controller.

    >show user-table | INCLUDE 192.168.103.76

    This will output:

       IP     MAC      Name        Role    Age(d:h:m)   Auth    VPN link     AP name      Roaming   Essid/Bssid/Phy   Profile         Forward mode     Type     Host Name     User Type

    ------   ---------   ------------   --------  ----------------  ---------  -------------  --------------  ---------------  ---------------------   ----------      -----------------------    --------   -----------------   ---------------

    .76     ##.##   Petros@   guest    ##                Web       Blank        #####      Wireless       #######           Guest-Email   Tunnel               Limux    #####          WIRELESS

    -------------------------------------------

    When the user is logged with the Noral GUest Wifi that uses a user account (vast)  SSID (VAST) I can run a command from the local controller.

    >show user-table | INCLUDE 192.168.103.144

    This will output:

       IP     MAC      Name        Role    Age(d:h:m)   Auth    VPN link     AP name      Roaming   Essid/Bssid/Phy   Profile         Forward mode     Type     Host Name     User Type

    ------   ---------   ------------   --------  ----------------  ---------  -------------  --------------  ---------------  ---------------------   ----------      -----------------------    --------   -----------------   ---------------

    .144  ##          vast , VAST-Guest-post-auth,  Web                        ##              Wireless      ######         Test2-Vast       tunnel                     Linux                            WIRELESS

    So the question is how can I get the new Guest Email registration profile of 'Guest-Email' to use the 'VAST-Guest-post-auth' role?   Or will I need to  change the local guest role - rules to match the: VAST-Guest-post-auth role rules?
