RADIUS Server
RADIUS Authentication
To modify a group, select it and click the Edit button. In the EDIT screen that
is displayed, configure the settings just as you would for a new group.
(However, you cannot change the group’s name nor whether it is a normal or
guest group.) When you are finished, click the OK button.
To delete a group, select it in the Network Setup > Local RADIUS Server > Groups
screen and click the Delete button. The Web browser interface asks you to
restart the RADIUS server for the change to take effect.
Creating User Accounts. You must configure a user account for every user
allowed to connect to your network. This requirement holds true whether the
internal RADIUS server authenticates users with passwords or with digital
certificates.
Just as the Wireless Edge Services xl Module’s RADIUS server defines two
types of groups, it defines two types of user accounts:
■ a normal account
■ a guest account
Normal users can only join normal groups, and guest users can only join guest
groups.
You configure the following parameters for user accounts:
■ username
■ if you are using TTLS or PEAP, a password
■ if the account is a guest account, an expiration time
To configure an account, complete these steps:
1. Select Network Setup > Local RADIUS Server and click the Users tab.
2. Click the Add button. The ADD screen is displayed.
