18.3 Group Summary
User groups consist of access users and other user groups. You cannot put admin users in user groups.
The Group screen provides a summary of all user groups. In addition, this screen allows you to add, edit,
and remove user groups. To access this screen, log into the Web Configurator, and click Configuration >
Object > User/Group > Group.

The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Authenticati
on Timeout
Settings
If you want to set authentication timeout to a value other than the default settings, select Use
Manual Settings then fill your preferred values in the fields that follow.
Lease Time Enter the number of minutes this user has to renew the current session before the user is logged out.
You can specify 1 to 1440 minutes. You can enter 0 to make the number of minutes unlimited.
Admin users renew the session every time the main screen refreshes in the Web Configurator.
Access users can renew the session by clicking the Renew button on their screen. If you allow access
users to renew time automatically, the users can select this check box on their screen as well. In this
case, the session is automatically renewed before the lease time expires.
Reauthentic
ation Time
Type the number of minutes this user can be logged into the NXC in one session before the user has
to log in again. You can specify 1 to 1440 minutes. You can enter 0 to make the number of minutes
unlimited. Unlike Lease Time, the user has no opportunity to renew the session without logging out.
User VLAN ID This field is available for a ext-group-user type user account.
Select this option to enable dynamic VLAN assignment on the NXC. When a user is authenticated
successfully, all data traffic from this user is tagged with the VLAN ID number you specify here.
This allows you to assign a user of the ext-group-user type to a specific VLAN based on the user
credentials instead of using an AAA server.
Configuratio
n Validation
Use a user account from the group specified above to test if the configuration is correct. Enter the
account’s user name in the User Name field and click Test.
OK Click OK to save your changes back to the NXC.
Cancel Click Cancel to exit this screen without saving your changes.
