Local User
You can configure a portal to accommodate guest users and authorized users. Guest users do not have
assigned user names and passwords. Authorized users provide a valid user name and password that must first
be validated against a local database or RADIUS server. Authorized users can gain network access once the
switch confirms the user’s credentials.
The Local User Summary page allows you to add authorized users to the local database, which can contain up
to 1024 user entries. You can also delete users from the local database from the Local User Summary page.
To view and configure CP users in the local database, click LAN > Security > Captive Portal > Local User.
Any users that are already configured are listed on the Local User Summary page.

logs the user out. A value of 0 means that the user will not be logged out automatically.
