Description
Expire Guest Hosts Daily (No Guest Manager)

Solution
This solution describes how to expire Guest hosts on a daily basis when not using Guest Manager.  Guest Manager provides additional implementation options.  See Solution 1863 for Custom Guest Management changes as of Network Sentry 7.3.2 and 8.0.

1)  If a local or LDAP user has been added to Network Sentry under the Users > User View, right-click on the new user record and select User Properties
2)  Set Expiration Date to "Never."
3)  Edit the Custom Login page under System > Portal Configuration > Registration > Custom Login Form
Configure the following:
Host Expiration Period Enabled (selected)
Host Expiration Period Unit: Day    
Host Expiration Period Value: 1
4)  Click APPLY

All hosts that register with the Custom Login page will be deleted from Network Sentry after 1 day.

The newly created username and password can be hard set and hidden on the page as well to eliminate the need for sharing the credentials.
