Is it possible to setup web authentication so that many users can share the same username/password?
(Now before you tell me why this is bad and all that - I already know!)
This is specifically for an application where the customer has hundreds of guest users coming in to a conference center each day and they want to be able to provide Internet-only access using the WLAN.
They wish to restrict access to legitimate guest users only and wish to confirm user legitimacy with a simple username/password challenge to prevent unauthorized access to the WLAN.
In an effort to reduce the effort to setup each separate guest user login for hundreds of users, the customer wants to setup only one username/password-of-the-week and have all legitimate guest users use that login info.
So... my questions are:
Will the WLAN user get an error if more than one user attempts to login to the WLAN using web authentication at the same time?
If so, is there a setting that would permit multiple simultaneous login using the same username/password?
Thanks,
John

Set the number of simultaneous logins to 0. My clients have done this and have not experienced any issues.

I think you need a gateway for that - I'm thinking of hotels and airports...
