PMP 450i and PTP 450i Configuration and User
Task 15: Configuring a RADIUS server
Using RADIUS for centralized AP and SM user name and
password management
AP – Technician/Installer/Administrator
Authentication
To control technician, installer, and administrator access to the AP from a
centralized
RADIUS server:
1
Set Authentication Mode on the AP’s Configuration > Security tab to RADIUS
AAA
2
Set User Authentication Mode on the AP’s Account > User Authentication
tab
(the tab only appears after the AP is set to RADIUS authentication) to
Remote
or Remote then
Local
.
•
Local: The local SM is checked for accounts. No centralized
RADIUS
accounting (access control)
is
performed.
•
Remote: Authentication by the centralized RADIUS server
is
required to
gain access to the SM if the SM is registered to an
AP
that has RADIUS
AAA Authentication Mode selected. For up to
2
minutes a test pattern is
displayed until the server responds
or
times
out.
•
Remote then Local: Authentication using the centralized
RADIUS
server is attempted. If the server sends a reject message, then
the
setting of
Allow Local Login after Reject from AAA determines
if
the local user
database is checked or not. If the configured
servers
do
not respond within
2 minutes, then the local user database
is
used. The successful login
method is displayed in the
navigation
column of the SM.
Either the same RADIUS server used for SM authentication can be
used
for user
authentication and accounting (access control), or a separate RADIUS
accounting
server can be used. Indicate your network design under Authentication
Server
Settings
in the AP’s
Security
tab.
If separate accounting server(s) are used, configure the IP address (or addresses)
and Shared
Secret
(s)
in the Accounting Server fields. The default Shared
Secret is “CanopyAcctSecret”. Up to
3
servers can be used for redundancy.
Servers 2 and 3 are meant for backup and reliability,
not
splitting the database. If Server 1 doesn’t respond, Server 2 is tried, and then
server 3.
If
Server
1 rejects authentication, Server 2 is not
tried.
