Configuring Access Profiles

IDM uses an Access Profile to set the VLAN, QoS, Bandwidth (rate-limits) and
Network Resource access rules that are applied to the user when they are
authenticated on the network. This is where the real benefits of "access
control" are realized. When users log in, the Access Profile dynamically
configures the switch or wireless access point settings to provide the proper
network access and resources for the user.

To begin, click the

Access Profiles

node in the

Identity Management Configuration

navigation tree to display the Access Profiles window.

the user is accessing with the settings specified in IDM.
