Server Secret

Authentication Method PAP Select one of the following authentication methods:
l PAP
l PEAP-MSCHAPv2
If you use the PEAP-MSCHAPv2 authentication method with the default
"Read-Only Monitoring and Auditing" user role, note that the name of
this role has been slightly modified in W-AirWave 8.2.3 to allow support
the PEAP-MSCHAPv2 authentication method: the ampersand (&)
symbol has been changed to the word and.
l Role Name in 8.2.2.x and earlier releases: Read-Only Monitoring
& Auditing
l Role Name in W-AirWave 8.2.3: Read-Only Monitoring and
Auditing
If you used the Read-Only Monitoring & Auditing user role prior to
upgrading to W-AirWave 8.2.3 or later releases, you must modify the
user role name on the RADIUS server to ensure that the user role
name on the RADIUS server exactly matches the user role name in W-
AirWave.

Integrating a RADIUS Accounting Server
W-AirWave checks the local user name and password before checking with the RADIUS server. If the user is found
locally, the local password and role apply. When using RADIUS, it’s not necessary or recommended to define users on
the W-AirWave server. The only recommended user is the backup admin, in case the RADIUS server goes down.
Optionally, you can configure RADIUS server accounting on AMP Setup > RADIUS Accounting. This capability
is not required for basic W-AirWave operation, but can increase the user-friendliness of W-AirWave
administration in large networks. Figure 18 illustrates the settings of this optional configuration interface.
Perform the following steps and configurations to enable W-AirWave to receive accounting records from a
separate RADIUS server. Figure 18 illustrates the display of RADIUS accounting clients already configured.
