How to Force “pendingAccess” to Refresh Automatically for Sponsored Guests

How to Force “pendingAccess” to Refresh Automatically for Sponsored Guests

Summary: When doing sponsored guest registration for internet, the guest never knows when registration has been successful. These instructions will show you how to set up the page to refresh automatically upon sponsorship approval for the guest.

Environment: Extreme Netsight and NAC Manger

Steps:

1. Log into NAC http://<NAC_IP_Address>:8080

2. Go to Tools > Management and Configuration > Advanced Configurations

3. In the left pane, go to Portal Configurations > Default > Web Site Configuration > Look and Feel. Then in the right pane, click on Message Strings:

4. Find the “pendingApproval” message string

5. Double click to edit the string. When editing, add this into the message string exactly as shown
code:

6. This will force the page (example shown below) to refresh every 60 seconds until approved.

Once sponsorship has been granted and the page refreshes, you’ll receive the access granted page.

Always a pleasure. Glad I can help 🙂

Thank you very much for the compliment! Trying to pay back all the help that has been given to me 🙂

Got to say Joseph, you've joined the Hub in style. In less than a two weeks time, you've already accumulated 534 points. Very impressive!

I had to do a double take based on your join date.

Thanks for making a positive contribution to our Community from the get go. Really good stuff!
