23.2.2 AuthenticationManagerCapability
Prizm or BAM allows you to set per AP a requirement that each SM registering to the AP
must authenticate. When AP Authentication Server (APAS) is enabled in the AP, any SM
that attempts to register to the AP is denied service if authentication fails, such as (but
not limited to) when no Prizm or BAM server is operating or when the SM is not listed in
the database.
If a Prizm or BAM server drops out of service where no redundant server exists
• an SM that attempts to register is denied service.
• an SM that is already in session remains in session
In a typical Cyclone network, some SMs re-register daily (when subscribers power down
the SMs, for example), and others do not re-register in a period of several weeks.
Whenever an authentication attempt fails, the SM locks out of any other attempt to
register itself to the same AP for the next 15 minutes.
