Working with RADIUS attributes
Introduction

Introduction
RADIUS attributes can be used to customize a wide range of configuration settings on the
controller. This includes defining configuration settings for the public access interface,
customizing the settings of access-controlled user accounts, or configuring credentials for
the administrative accounts that are used to manage/operate the controller.
Attributes can be defined both locally on the controller or retrieved from a third-party
RADIUS server. In certain cases, values can be defined locally and then overwritten by values
retrieved from a RADIUS server. This allows, for example, default values on the controller to
be dynamically updated on a per-user basis.
This chapter splits the supported RADIUS attributes into three categories:

Controller
attributes
Used to customize the
operation of the public
access interface (creating
access lists for walled
gardens, for example), and
also to define default values
that are applied to all user
accounts.
