    Posted Dec 29, 2022 06:11 AM
    hi team,
    we have created an guest SSID on Aruba 7220 wlc with internal CAPITIVE PORTAL WITH MAC AUTHENTICATION.
    ONCE USER GETS CONNECTED ON THE SSID ,we create an username and password in internal DB and user get authenticated with this credential.
    but when we disconnect the user and forget the SSID from the user end device , he is still able to connect to the SSID without any credential. 
    we tried by deleting the credential from CONTROLLER BUT STILL USER gets connected without credentials.
    i am attaching the configuration and user logs .
    please check and let me know what can i do to resolve this issue .

    Thanks ,
    Shivam Ojha

    Did you remove the user from the user table before trying to rejoin?

    Not the user credential:

    The user must be removed from the active user table before a reauthentication can be forced.

    The user table stays active just in case a user stops transmitting for a few minutes.  They can get back in without reauthenticating.  A list of users who are active should be on the dashboard.

    hi Cjoseph,
    thank you so much . this is really helpful.
    i have one last question  , how long a user will be active after disconnecting from the SSID in order to get the Authentication page .

    About 5 minutes after the user stops sending traffic.

    hi cjoseph,
    we have tried connecting user after deadtime  (10 min ), users are getting login page as expected . but if user is connected on lan , he is not getting the login page and gets connected directly even after 1 hour.

    If a user is connected on the Lan and his wireless is still enabled, he is still "connected" so his session will not time out.

    Hi cjoseph,
    No disconnected the client hai turned off the wifi but user was still getting internet connection through lan and after 10 minutes we turned on the wifi and connected to the SSID again but this time user was able to connect directly without authentication.
    Is it because user was getting internet through lan so SSID did not fource for authentication ?

    Do you know where in the controller to view the user table in the dashboard?  Try discovered connecting the user.  For now, do not involve the wired connection; try to focus on the wireless first .

    I tried show user table in which I can see the users even after disconnecting the SSID . And I have checked that ideal time out is 5 min and dead interval is 10 minutes. If the lan is not connected SSID is working as normal. After 10 minutes user are getting the page

    "AAA user delete Mac <Mac address> " will delete the user from the user table .

    "Show aaa timers" would show that the user idle timeout is 5 minutes after they last sent traffic.

    "Show AP association client-mac <Mac address of user> will show the current association of that user and how much traffic they have sent in that access point.  Make sure the traffic counters do not continue to go up when the users are connected to the wired network ...
