In this section, you can add local users. In addition, you can also temporarily disable users or enable them again.
To create a new local user, you need to specify only one mandatory parameter (username). Though all other parameters are optional, it is recommended that you specify them for proper user identification:
-
Username and password - for identification by username and password. In this case, you will need to set up the Captive portal where users can enter their username and password for authentication
-
One IP address or a range of IP addresses, and MAC address for identification based on MAC and IP. In this case, it is necessary to ensure network access from the specified MAC and/or IP addresses for a given user.
-
The VLAN ID for identifying the user via LAN tag. In this case you need to make sure the user always accesses the network from the indicated LVAN.
If both the credentials and IP/MAC/VLAN addresses are provided for a user, the system will utilize identification by address, i.e. identification by address has a higher priority.
Though user accounts obtained from LDAP synchronization are not shown here, these users can also be added to security policies.
