Users > Guest Accounts
Enforce login uniqueness: Check this to allow only a single instance of an account to be used
at any one time. By default, this feature is enabled when creating a new guest account. If you
want to allow multiple users to login with a single account, disable this enforcement by clearing
the Enforce login uniqueness checkbox.
Activate account upon first login: Check this for the account to remain inactive until the user
logs in and activates the account.
Account Lifetime: This setting defines how long an account remains on the security appliance
before the account expires. If Auto-Prune is enabled, the account is deleted when it expires. If
the Auto-Prune checkbox is cleared, the account remains in the list of guest accounts with an
Expired status, allowing easy reactivation.
Session Lifetime: Defines how long a guest login session remains active after it has been
activated. By default, activation occurs the first time a guest user logs into an account.
Alternatively, activation can occur at the time the account is created by clearing the Activate
account upon first login checkbox. The Session Lifetime cannot exceed the value set in the
Account Lifetime
Idle Timeout: Defines the maximum period of time when no traffic is passed on an activated
guest services session. Exceeding the period defined by this setting expires the session, but
the account itself remains active as long as the Account Lifetime hasn't expired. The Idle
Timeout cannot exceed the value set in the Session Lifetime.
Comment: Any text can be entered as a comment in the Comment field.
