We tried to use Lobby Ambassador for sponsored guest management. We configured our RADIUS server to return the necessary attribute to put all users in the "lobby admin" role. It worked as advertised with one major issue - all guest accounts were shared between the lobby ambassador accounts. That might work if there are a select few admins managing guests (and it was over a year ago, so things might have changed), but it didn't fit the sponsor model we wanted.
We recently deployed the Cisco NAC Guest Server which better fits our model. It's pretty basic, but it works as advertised. Dave Lee H Badman wrote: > Thanks Hector (and Mike and David).
