Advanced AAA Settings
Alcatel’s AAA Advanced feature is a licensed feature that configures a Alcatel
Mobility Controller to allow users using one authentication method (like
Captive Portal or 802.1x) to be authenticated against different authentication
servers based on the domain and realm (FQDN) used by the client or the client
associated ESSID.
In the topology shown above, all clients authenticate using the same method
(for example, Captive Portal). Alcatel allows all users using
sales.com to
authenticate against auth server Server1 and the engineering users using the
engineering.com in their user name to authenticate against Server2.
Additionally, Alcatel supports users associating with the guest ESSID to
authenticate against Server2.
This feature adds flexibility to AAA configuration by allowing IT managers to
maintain servers by departments or ESSIDs in different campuses, or in cases
where two different companies merge
Captive Portal configurations permit users to see the FQDN configured during
user logon.
