12. Depending on which authorization mode you choose, go to the following sub-
sections in this procedure:
z Enabling AAA Services with the Internal Web Server – The IWS is
“flashed” into the system’s memory and the subscriber’s login page is served
directly from the HSG. In this mode, the login page consists of a simple
request for the subscriber’s ID (user name) and password.
z Enabling AAA Services with an External Web Server – In the EWS mode,
the HSG redirects the subscriber’s login request to an external server
(transparent to the subscriber). The login page served by the EWS reflects
the “look and feel” of the solution provider’s network and presents more
login options.
Enabling AAA Services with the Internal Web Server
You are here because you want to enable the AAA Services with the HSG’s Internal
Web Server. The HSG maintains an internal database of authorized subscribers, based
on their MAC (hardware address) and user name (if enabled). By referring to its
database record, also known as an authorization table, the HSG instantly recognizes
new subscribers on the network.
You can configure the HSG to handle new subscribers in various ways (see the table
on this page). With the IWS, you also have the option of enabling SSL support (if
your license includes the SSL support feature and you have the certificate files
server.pem, cakey.pem and cacert.pem on the flash).
After selecting the Internal Web Server authorization mode, you have the option of
enabling or disabling the Usernames and New Subscribers features. These features
work in conjunction with each other to determine how new subscribers are handled.
