8.2 UAM Configuration
UAM authentication is available on radio interfaces (including VAPs) only if GD-GEO20 is
working as router in Access Point (auto WDS) wireless mode.
The APC allows user authentication through external or internal Web portal. This authentication
method is called UAM. User provides login credentials and then Web portal attempts to authenticate
and authorize the client using the provided information. Client will not send any authentication
requests directly to the APC, the Web portal will do this. On success, APC will allow access to the
Internet; otherwise Web portal will display failure notice.
