# Guest method

This mode allows identification without authentication, for access to a public Wi-Fi network, for example. This method automatically activates the display of the conditions of use for internet access. These conditions can be customized in the Captive portal tab. By default, this request to confirm authentication appears every 18 hours and can be modified in the settings for this method (disclaimertime).

When these “guest” users log on, these events will be logged with the addition of source MAC addresses. This identification is checked every 4 hours, and this parameter can be set in the following CLI command:

CONFIG AUTH GUEST (example: state=1 logontime=14400 disclaimertime= 64800)

NOTE
In the security policy, select All as the User object to match the Guest method.

Display frequency of the Conditions of use for internet access | With this method, the Conditions of use for internet access – commonly known as Disclaimer – are systematically shown to the user. A checkbox to indicate the user’s agreement has to be checked before the user can authenticate. These conditions can be customized in the “Captive portal” tab. If the feature has also been enabled in the profiles of the captive portal, this display frequency will be different from the one configured for the other methods.
