Attribute Meaning
User Authentication
Mode
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.
Allow Local Login
after Reject from AAA
If a user authentication is rejected from the AAA server, the
user is allowed to login locally to the radio’s management
interface. It is applicable ONLY when the User Authentication
Mode is set to “Remote then Local”.
When the radio User Authentication Mode is set to
Local” or “Remote”, the Allow Local Login after Reject
from AAA does not any effect.
