If they are not configured, no role-based restrictions apply. Any additional roles you have configured are also listed here. The available default options are Contractor, Guest and NAC-Default.

Indicates type of authentication used for Guests or Contractors associated with this template. Options include:

Local: User name and password credentials are stored in the local database.

For Conference accounts, authentication is Local only.

LDAP: The email of the user is required, and is what guests and contractors use to log in. The email address maps to the created Guest user. When the email address is located in the LDAP directory, it is compared with the given password for the user. If it matches, the guest or contractor’s credentials are accepted and they are granted access.

Account Duration (Hours): Option included in the guest template to limit the time a guest account created with this template remains in the database. If this is blank, the guest account end date is used. The Account Duration starts only when the guest user first logs in. For example, you could create a guest account with a date range that spans one week and if the account duration was 24 hours, they would be able to log in for one 24 hour period any time during that week

Account End Date: Option included on the Add Guest Account dialog to determine the date on which the guest account expires. This field is required when a guest account is created.

Number of hours the guest or contractor can access the network before reauthentication is required.
