Attribute Meaning
Authentication
Mode
Operators may use this field to select the following authentication
modes:
Disabled—the AP requires no SMs to authenticate.
Authentication Server —the AP requires any SM that attempts
registration to be authenticated in Wireless Manager before
registration.
AP PreShared Key - The AP acts as the authentication server to its
SMs and will make use of a user-configurable pre-shared
authentication key. The operator enters this key on both the AP and
all SMs desired to register to that AP. There is also an option of
leaving the AP and SMs at their default setting of using the “Default
Key”. Due to the nature of the authentication operation, if you want
to set a specific authentication key, then you MUST configure the
key on all of the SMs and reboot them BEFORE enabling the key
and option on the AP. Otherwise, if you configure the AP first, none
of the SMs is able to register.
RADIUS AAA - When RADIUS AAA is selected, up to 3
Authentication Server (RADIUS Server) IP addresses and Shared
Secrets can be configured. The IP address(s) configured here must
match the IP address(s) of the RADIUS server(s). The shared
secret(s) configured here must match the shared secret(s)
configured in the RADIUS server(s). Servers 2 and 3 are meant for
backup and reliability, not for splitting the database. If Server 1
doesn’t respond, Server 2 is tried, and then server 3. If Server 1
rejects authentication, the SM is denied entry to the network and
does not progress trying the other servers.
Authentication
Server DNS Usage
The management DNS domain name may be toggled such that the
name of the authentication server only needs to be specified and the
DNS domain name is automatically appended to that name.
Authentication
Server 1
Enter the IP address or server name of the authentication server
(RADIUS or WM) and the Shared Secret configured in the
authentication server. When Authentication Mode RADIUS AAA
is selected, the default value of Shared Secret is
“CanopySharedSecret”. The Shared Secret may consist of up to 32
ASCII characters.
