Local Authorization, Create Users and Groups
When using local authentication, the administrator provides user identities for captive portal
by adding unique user names and passwords to the local user database. This configuration is
global to the captive portal component and can contain up to 128 user entries (a RADIUS
server should be used if more users are required). A local user can belong to one or more
groups. There is one group created by default with the group name Default to which all new
users are assigned. All new captive portal instances are also assigned to the Default group.
You can create new groups and modify the user/group association to allow only a subset of
users access to a specific captive portal instance. Network access is granted upon
successful user name, password, and group verification.
