Options for Providing Password for Guest Self-Registration

Solution
Self-Registration is a means to automatically generate credentials for a guest without the need to creating an account locally in Network Sentry or in an authentication server (such as Active Directory).

The Self-Registration Portal is configured through the Administrative UI.  Navigate to Portal configuration > Registration > Self Registration Login

There are multiple options available to provide credentials to the end user:
  • Notify User via Portal Page:  When enabled, guest user will be notified of their credentials in the portal page.
  • Show Password in Portal Page Notification:  When enabled and Notify User via Portal Page is enabled, the guest account password will be displayed in plain text in the login form.
  • Notify User via Email:  When enabled, guest user will be notified of their credentials through email.
  • Notify User via SMS:  When enabled, guest user will be notified of their credentials through a SMS Message.
