We manage this via our NAC.  We can have individuals sponsored by employees or we can do mass imports and spit out 
usernames and passwords per individual and hand them the slip of paper with their account information.

We have a coovachili widget setup behind a WPA-PSK, authenticating against a pre-populated directory of accounts, which 
we pre-print the psk key/usernames/passwords/terms etc into what looks like payslip stationery. We have a barcode on 
the outside, so we can track them and record what accounts are given out to which organisers, and our "local 
organisers" are "required" to keep track of who they give them out to. They nominally expire after 2 weeks from first 
use.

I would curious about this as well.  We've had requests for single and multiple day  events in the past which we 
managed.  However, we have several groups with no official Campus affiliation which will be living on campus this 
summer, ranging from a single week, with others groups staying up to two months.

I am also unclear how CALEA might factor into the conversations concerning open SSIDs or single credentialing for 
groups of users.   So if anyone has any insight on this aspect, it would be most appreciated!

We have a situation where we need to set up temporary wireless access for 140 guests.  This access will be limited to 
Internet only.   If it were just one or two people, we would simply create a network account for them.  For obvious 
reasons, we don’t want to do that for such a large number of temporary users.  Has anyone faced a similar issue and 
come up with a workable solution?  I would appreciate hearing from you.  Thanks.
