Configuring guest service parameters

The guest service parameters take effect on the guest management module.

To configure guest service parameters:

1. Click the User tab.

2. From the navigation tree, select Guest > Guest Parameters.

3. Configure functionality settings:

   • Expired Guest Retention Time (Days)—Enter the duration before an expired guest is permanently from UAM.

   • SMS Retrieval Interval (seconds)—Enter the minimum interval between two password retrievals for the same guest account through an SMS message. This parameter takes effect only on guests verified through an SMS message.

   • SMS Reset Password—Configure whether to reset the password each time a guest gets a password for login. Options are Enable and Disable. When you select Enable, a guest gets a new password. When you select Disable, a guest uses the last login password until the password expires, and uses a new password after the password expires.

   • Guest Preregistration—Configure the guest preregistration function. Options are Enable and Disable.

     If you select Enable, UAM allows endpoint users to preregister guest accounts. The Display option is automatically selected for the Guest Preregister link on the self-service login page.

     If you select Disable, the endpoint users cannot preregister guest accounts. The Display option is automatically cleared for the Guest Preregister link on the self-service login page.

     For information about modifying the self-service login page, see "Modifying the self-service login page for PCs" and "Modifying the self-service login page for mobile devices."

   • Allow Duplicate Phone Numbers—Configure whether or not to allow duplicate phone numbers for guest preregistration. Options are Yes and No. If you select Yes, endpoint users can preregister multiple guests by using the same phone number. If you select No, endpoint users must specify a unique phone number in each guest preregistration.

   • Associate Existing Users—Configure whether or not to check the combination of the account name and identity number for guest preregistration. Options are Yes and No. If you select Yes, UAM does not check whether the combination is already registered by a guest. If you select No, endpoint users must use a combination that is not registered by other guests for preregistration.

   • Default user group for guests—Click the Select User Group icon . The Select User Group window opens. Select a group and click OK. You can select only one user group. After you select a user group, all new guests are added to the user group. This operation does not change the user group of existing guests.

   • Password Strategy for Guest Preregistration—Select Enable or Disable to enable or disable the password strategy for guest preregistration.

     If you select Enable, the password set by a guest for preregistration must meet the requirements of the password strategy. This restriction does not apply when the guest modifies the password after approval.

     For information about configuring the password strategy, see "Configuring global system settings."
