HP-UX AAA Server A.08.00.01 Administrator's Guide

NOTE: If you are using TLS, TTLS, or PEAP, be sure you configure the required
digital certificates after you configure all you r realms.
Securing WLANs with the HP-UX AAA Server
The following is the list of the steps for securing WLANs with the HP-UX AAA Server.
Use the Secure LAN Advisor and refer to each specific section in this guide for more
information on each step.
1. Access Server Manager. See “Accessing the Server Manager” (page 69) for more
information.
2. Open the Secure LAN Advisor for online reference by selecting Secure LAN Advisor
in the navigation tree. See “The Secure LAN Advisor” (page 154) for more
information.
3. Load a AAA server configuration to Server Manger by selecting Load in the
navigation tree. See “Loading and Saving Your Configuration” (page 91) for more
information.
4. Identify the RADIUS clients that will send access requests to the AAA server by
selecting Access Devices in the navigation tree. See “Navigating the Access Devices
Screen” (page 96) for more information.
5. Configure realms for the encrypted tunnels if you are using TTLS, or optionally
for PEAP. See “Adding a Realm” (page 101) for more information).
6. Configure your realms to set the authentication methods the AAA will server use
to authenticate your users, and to indicate where it the AAA server should look
for user information. See “Adding a Realm” (page 101) for more information.
7. Configure digital certificates if you are using TLS, TTLS, or PEAP. See “Digital
Certificate Administration” (page 159) for more information.
8. Configure user profiles to identify each user accessing services through the AAA
server.
9. Deploy the AAA configuration to secure your LAN by:
a. saving the configuration to one or more AAA servers
b. stopping and starting the AAA servers in the configuration
Digital Certificate Administration
Some security methods (like TLS, TTLS, or PEAP) use digital certificates assigned to
each user for authentication. If your organization has a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI),
you can deploy digital certificates for user authentication. The following is a list of the
certificates involved:
• Server certificate—digital certificate identifying the server.
• Server CA certificate—a copy of the certificate for the authority that issued the
server certificate.
