User authentication, accounts, and addressing
802.1X authentication
10-10
EAP-FAST: Extensible Authentication Protocol Flexible Authentication via Secure
Tunneling. Can use a pre-shared key instead of server-side certificate.
Configuring 802.1X support on a VSC
Each VSC can have unique settings for 802.1X authentication. These settings are defined on
the VSC profile page. (To open this page, see Viewing and editing VSC profiles on page 5-4).
When the Use controller for Authentication option is enabled under General, 802.1X
authentication tasks are handled by the controller. APs forward all authentication
requests to the controller which validates user login credentials using the local user
accounts or a third-party authentication server (RADIUS or Active Directory).
When the Use controller for Authentication option is disabled under General, 802.1X
authentication tasks are handled directly by the AP. The AP uses the services of a third-
party RADIUS server (configured by defining a RADIUS profile on the Controller >>
Authentication > RADIUS profiles page) to validate user login credentials.
