6.14 Configuring User Authentication
The access point can work with external Radius and LDAP Servers (AAA Servers) to provide user
database information and user authentication.
6.14.1 Configuring the Radius Server
The Radius Server screen enables an administrator to define data sources and specify
authentication information for the RADIUS Server.
To configure the Radius Server:
1. Select
System Configuration -> User Authentication -> RADIUS Server from the menu tree.
2. From within the Data Source Configuration field, use the Data Source drop-down menu
to select the data source for the Radius server.
Local An internal user database serves as the data source. Use the User
Database screen to enter the user data. For more information, see
Managing the Local User Database on page 6-68.
LDAP If LDAP is selected, the switch will use the data in an LDAP server.
Configure the LDAP server settings on the LDAP screen under
RADIUS Server on the menu tree. For more information, see
Configuring LDAP Authentication on page 6-64.
