Authentication for a VNS
10. In the Auth. Type drop-down list, select the authentication protocol to be used by the
RADIUS server to authenticate the wireless device users. The authentication protocol
applies to a VNS with Captive Portal authentication:
● PAP – Password Authentication Protocol
● CHAP – Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol
● MS-CHAP – Windows-specific version of CHAP
● MS-CHAP2 – Windows-specific version of CHAP, version 2
11. In the Include VSA Attributes section, click the appropriate checkboxes to include the
Vendor Specific Attributes in the message to the RADIUS server:
● AP’s
● VNS’s
● SSID
The Vendor Specific Attributes must be defined on the RADIUS server.
12. If appropriate, click the Reset to Primary checkbox. This checkbox is visible when a
RADIUS server has not yet been selected as a primary server, or if the server you are
configuring has already been selected as the primary server, the Reset to Primary
checkbox is selected.
RADIUS redundancy defines additional backup RADIUS servers that the system will
attempt to communicate with in case a connection with the identified primary server fails.
If connection to an active primary server fails, the system automatically attempts to connect
to one of the alternate servers in sequence. If the system succeeds in registering with a
defined alternate server, it becomes the active primary server, which is identified by the A
on the list. You can subsequently reset or change the identification of the primary server
by clicking the applicable Reset to Primary checkbox.
13. To save your changes, click Save.
7.3.2.1 Defining the RADIUS server priority for RADIUS redundancy
If more than one server has been defined for any type of authentication, you can define the
priority of the servers in the case of failover.
>
If you have already assigned a server to either MAC-based authentication or
accounting, and you want to use it again for authentication, highlight its name in
the list next to the Up and Down buttons and select the Use server for
Authentication checkbox. The server’s default information is displayed.
