Can i use my ACS 5.2 as Guest user athentication server

Hi there,

Well.. the ACS 5.x is an authentication server and you can authenticate users from the internal/external databases, if what you want is to give restricted access to some particular accounts (guest users) then yes, you can create a Shell Profile and Command Set specifically for them.

This can be done from Policy Elements/Default Device Administration.

Not sure if this answers your question or if you need more details.

There is no a specific feature in the ACS to automatically generate random users/password, but you can definitely create them manually yourself under Users and Identity Stores/Users.

You can create the guest account there and assign those users to a guest group as well.

Here is the documentation just in case:
