Identity username configured in the RADIUS server. The default Phase 1/Outer
Identity
Username isanonymous. The Username can be up to 128 non-special (no

If Realms are being used in the RADIUS system
(eapttls only), select Enable Realm and configure an outer identity in the
Identity

authentication protocol from the Phase 2 options of PAP (Password Authentication
Protocol), CHAP (Challenge Handshake
Authentication
Protocol), and MSCHAPv2
(Microsoft’s version of CHAP). The protocol

Handling Certificates
Managing SM Certificates via the SM GUI
The default public Canopy certificates are loaded into SMs upon factory software
installation. The default certificates are not secure and are intended for
use
during lab and field trials as part of gaining experience with the RADIUS
functionalities or as
an
option during debug. For secure operation, an operator will
want to create or procure their
own
certificates. Resetting a SM to its factory
defaults will remove the current certificates and restore the default certificates.
Up to two certificates can be resident on a SM. An installed certificate can be
deleted
by
clicking the Delete button in the certificate’s description block on the
Configuration >
Security
tab. To restore fhe 2 default certificates, click the Use
Default Certificates button in
the
RADIUS Certificate Settings parameter
block and reboot the
radio.
