Task 15: Configuring a RADIUS server
SM Authentication Mode Require RADIUS or Follow
AP
If it is desired that a SM will only authenticate to an AP that is using RADIUS, on the
SM’s
Configuration Security tab set Enforce Authentication to AAA. With this enabled,
SM
does
not register to an AP that has any Authentication Mode other than RADIUS
AAA
selected
.
If it is desired that a SM use the authentication method configured on the AP it is
registering
to, set Enforce Authentication to Disabled. With Enforce
Authentication disabled, a SM will attempt to register
using
whichever
Authentication Mode is configured on the AP it is attempting to register
to.
Having SMs to use RADIUS by enabling Enforce Authentication avoids the
security issue of SMs possibly registering to “rogue” Aps, which have
authentication
disabled.
