Has anyone ever successfully implemented a timed model for ClearPass Guest where self-registration is only available after hours? To clarify, the goal is to redirect users to a web page, during business hours, to contact a guest admin, but use self-registration pages available after business hours when no guest admins are present?

 

Thanks

Please take a look at the article here:  (requires Aruba Support Login) https://arubapedia.arubanetworks.com/arubapedia/index.php/How-To:_Restrict_Guest_Login_Page_to_Business_Hours

Thanks Colin. I tried the solution in my lab on the self-registration page without success. I will play with it some more to see if I can get it to work. Thank you for the reference

Randy,

Are you doing the use case like in the article, or is what you are doing different? Did you get the specific example in the article to work?

Colin...

 

I tried to relpicate the use case in the article to see if I can get some ideas to get to the end destication.  unfortunatly I am getting an error when I add the HTML to the headers and footer as mention in the how to...

 

Error in template: [in __template__55705bad5be934.94472563.html line 1]: syntax error: (secure mode) 'date' not allowed in if statement (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 291)

 

Do you know if there are any working examples of this on clearpass.arubademo.net?

 

Thanks

 

Randy

RLB,

 

Please try this:

 

Above what you have add:

{assign var=Hi value='Hi'|date}

 

The every place you see date("Hi") replace it with $Hi.

 

Let us know if that works.

 

RLB,

 

I did this to test this:

Header

{nwa_cookiecheck}
{assign var=Hi value='Hi'|date}
{if $Hi < "1600"}
   <h3>Service Unavailable</h3>
    <h4>Guest Network Access unavailable before 4pm</h4>
    <div style="display:none;">
   {elseif $Hi >= "1700"}
   <h3>Service Unavailable</h3>
    <h4>Guest Network Access unavailable after 5pm</h4>
    <div style="display:none;">
   {/if}

{if $errmsg}{nwa_icontext type=error}{$errmsg|escape}{/nwa_icontext}{/if}

{nwa_text id=7980}<p>
    Please login to the network using your
    username and password.
</p>{/nwa_text}

Footer

{if $Hi < "1600" || $Hi >= "1700"}
   </div>
   {/if}
{nwa_text id=7979}<p>
Contact a staff member if you are experiencing
difficulty logging in.
</p>{/nwa_text}

I purposely changed to between 1600 and 1700 so that I would be outside of that range to test.  You can change it to any 24-hour range to suit your needs.

 

Colin...

 

The added HTML as scripted in my lab and it worked on my self registration pages.  I am going to tweak it so that between the hours of 8:00am and 4:00pm users are directed to contact a staff member to create an account.  between the hours of 4:00pm and 8:00am the self registration page should appear...Thank You VM for getting me most of the way there, appreciate your dedication to the site and prompt replies..Highest Regards 

RLB,

 

It has been brought to my attention that there is already a time restriction built into the guest registration page:

 

Oh? Do tell...

Randy

It is in the screenshot in the previous post.
