Dell PowerConnect ArubaOS 5.0 | User Guide Access Points | 107
z XML API server profile—Specifies the IP address of an external XML API server.
z RFC 3576 server—Specifies the IP address of a RFC 3576 RADIUS server.
z MAC authentication profile—Defines parameters for MAC address authentication, including upper- or
lower-case MAC string, the diameter format in the string, and the maximum number of authentication
failures before a user is blacklisted.
z Captive portal authentication profile—This profile directs clients to a web page that requires them to enter a
username and password before being granted access to the network. This profile defines login wait times, the
URLs for login and welcome pages, and manages the default user role for authenticated captive portal clients.
You can also set the maximum number of authentication failures allowed per user before that user is
blacklisted. This profile includes a reference to a Server group profile. For complete information on
configuring a Captive portal authentication profile, refer to Chapter 12, “Captive Portal” on page299.
z 802.1x authentication profile—Defines default user roles for machine or 802.1x authentication, and
parameters for 8021.x termination and failed authentication attempts. For a list of the basic parameters in the
802.1x authentication profile, refer to Chapter 9, “802.1x Authentication” on page251
z RADIUS server profile—Identifies the IP address of a RADIUS server and sets RADIUS server parameters
such as authentication and accounting ports and the maximum allowed number of authentication retries. For
a list of the parameters in the RADIUS profile, refer to “Configuring a RADIUS Server” on page232
z LDAP server profile—Defines an external LDAP authentication server that processes requests from the
controller. This profile specifies the authentication and accounting ports used by the server, as well as
administrator passwords, filters and keys for server access. For a list of the parameters in the LDAP profile,
refer to “Configuring an LDAP Server” on page 234.
z TACACS server profile—Specifies the TCP port used by the server, the timeout period for a TACACS+
request, and the maximum number of allowed retries per user. For a list of the parameters in the TACACS
profile, refer to “Configuring a TACACS+ Server” on page 235.
z Server group—This profile manages groups of servers for specific types of authentication. Server Groups
identify individual authentication servers and let you create rules for clients based on attributes returned for
the client by the server during authentication. For additional information on configuring server rules, see
“Configuring Server-Derivation Rules” on page244
z VPN Authentication profile—This profile identifies the default role for authenticated VPN clients and also
references a server group. It also provides a separate VPN AAA authentication for a terminating remote AP
(default-rap) and a campus AP (default-CAP). If you want to simultaneously deploy various combinations of a
VPN client, RAP-psk, RAP-certs and CAP on the same controller, see Table 66 on page 348.
z Management authentication profile—Enables or disables management authentication, and identifies the
default role for authenticated management clients. This profile also references a server group.
z Wired authentication profile—This profile merely references an AAA profile to be used for wired
authentication.
z Stateful 802.1x authentication Profile—Enables or disables 802.1x authentication for clients on non-Dell
APs, and defines the default role for those users once they are authenticated. This profile also references a
server group to be used for authentication.
z Stateful NTLM authentication Profile—Monitor the NTLM (NT LAN Manager) authentication messages
between clients and an authentication server. If the client successfully authenticates via an NTLM
authentication server, the switch can recognize that the client has been authenticated and assign that client a
specified user role
AP Profiles
The AP profiles configure AP operation parameters, radio settings, port operations, regulatory domain, and
SNMP information.
