Re: Guest Logins

What we have done is to create a web-based utility to create limited purpose accounts.  We have classes of accounts 
(library patron, workshop attendees, etc.) with different durations, workstation restrictions, etc.  Different sets of 
users are able to create accounts in each class-for example, only the library service desk staff can create patron 
accounts, special events staff can only create guest wireless accounts, continuing education staff create workshop 
accounts.

Subject: [SECURITY] Guest Logins

Hi all,

My apologies if this has been posted before - new to the listserv. We're needing some input/guidance on guest access to 
domain machines. I've searched the archive but mostly find solutions for wireless. We have a solution in place for our 
wireless - we have implemented a NAC that guests register with and receive temporary credentials - what we need is a 
solution/policy for guests to access non-wireless, domain-connected machines. A specific example for us would be a 
guest speaker who comes on campus for a weekend  seminar and needs to use a podium PC to present. Currently we are 
using a generic account but an unknown number of people now know the credentials and the account is being used for 
things outside of the scope of its original purpose. We would like to get away from generic accounts completely in 
favor of associating a specific user to a login. Any input/experiences on what's worked (or not) with this topic would 
be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Taylor
