Many wireless administrator looking for a solution on how to set the start-time or specifying the detail such as duration/expiry time for our future user on Aruba Controller. I never come across the solution on Airheads before. Normally, by using GUI based of Aruba controller powered with ArubaOS 3.3.1.22, we can add the user inside the internal database are as follows:
Go to Configuration tab, select Authentication under security section, and click Servers tab. Then click Internal DB.
Configuration > Authentication > Servers > Internal DB
Based on this GUI configuration, by default the account that we create will automatically enable and activated immediately after we click Apply. We can only the duration of expiry (mins) or set the exact time of account expiry (date and time).
How to set the account can only be enabled and activated by tomorrow or next week or next month or next year ? It is possible to do that ? YES !
You cannot configure it by using normal graphical interface (GUI). You have to configure it by using command line. The configuration are as follows:
Just simply type [ local-userdb ? ] we been given a few options for internal user database. Then try to write the command as follows:
(ARUBA-GMK-1-1) #local-userdb add username jaizanuar password%tf@#x78 start-time 01/01/2015 23:30 expiry duration 60
This is how we create the account for jaizanuar with a given password of %tf@#x78which can only be use on January 01, 2015 at 11:30 pm for 60 minutes. OR we can also specify the exact expiry time as follows:
(ARUBA-GMK-1-1) #local-userdb add username jaizanuar password %tf@#x78start-time 01/01/2015 23:30 expiry time 02/01/2015 18:00
It will expire on February 01, 2015 at 6:00 pm
