SM Authentication Mode Require RADIUS or Follow
AP
If it is desired that an SM will only authenticate to an AP that is using RADIUS, on the
SM‘s
Configuration Security tab set Enforce Authentication to AAA. With this enabled, an SM
will
not
register to an AP that has any Authentication Mode other than RADIUS AAA
selected
.
If it is desired that an SM use the authentication method configured on the AP it is
registering
to, set
Enforce Authentication to Disabled. With Enforce Authentication disabled, an SM will attempt to
register
using
whichever Authentication Mode is configured on the AP it is attempting to register
to.
Note, requiring SMs to use RADIUS by enabling Enforce Authentication avoids the security issue of
SMs possibly registering to ―rogue‖ APs which have authentication
disabled.
