User authentication, accounts, and addressing
802.1X authentication
10-11
Note When the Wireless protection option in a VSC is set to WPA with a Key source of
Dynamic, 802.1X is automatically enabled.
Authentication
Local
User logins are authenticated with the list defined on the Controller >> Users > User
accounts page.
Remote
Active Directory: User logins are authenticated via Active Directory. To setup Active
Directory support go to the Controller >> Security > Active Directory page.
RADIUS: User logins are authenticated via an external RADIUS server. To setup the
connection to an external RADIUS server, go to the Controller >> Authentication >
RADIUS profiles page.
Request RADIUS CUI: Enable this option to support the Chargeable User Identity
(CUI) attribute as defined in RFC-4372. The CUI is used to associate a unique
identifier with a user so that the user can be identified (for billing, authentication or
other purposes) when roaming outside of their home network.
General
RADIUS accounting
Enable this option to have the controller generate a RADIUS START/STOP and interim
request for each user. The controller respects the RADIUS interim-update-interval attribute if
present inside the RADIUS access accept of the authentication.
