Users that are not sponsored: - can self-register - the password (6 digits) is sent via email/SMS to ensure we have *some* point of contact - the account is good for 9 hours (a work day plus some wiggle room). - If they forget their password or want to extend/renew their account, they can simply re-register.
Sponsored accounts: - username/password is generated by the department, and it is up to the department to give this to the guest - valid for up to 30 days, as set by the sponsor In both cases, once the guest is logged in through a web login, the MAC is cached, and the user does not have to log in again, as long as their account is valid. Side note, we also use eduroam as our primary wireless network. Anyone with valid eduroam credentials will just connect automatically. -- Jonathan Waldrep Network Engineer Network Infrastructure and Services Virginia Tech On Thu, May 10, 2018 at 12:08 PM, Watters, John <[email protected]> wrote: > We also use 7 days with a 3 renewal limit, giving them 28 days.
