Authentication/Accounting Servers
Once your wireless network is set up, you can instruct the NXA-WAPZD1000 to authenticate wireless users
using your existing Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) server. The following types of AAA
servers are supported:
Active Directory
LDAP
RADIUS / RADIUS Accounting
The Browser-Based Configuration Pages provides a sample template for each of the AAA server types. These
templates can be customized to match your specific network setup, or you can create new AAA server objects
and add them to the list.
Using an External AAA Server
If you want to authenticate users against an external Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA)
server, you will need to first configure your AAA server, then point the NXA-WAPZD1000 to the AAA server,
so that requests will be passed through the NXA-WAPZD1000 before access is granted. This section describes
the tasks that you need to perform on the NXA-WAPZD1000 to ensure the device can communicate with your
AAA server.
The NXA-WAPZD1000 supports three types of AAA server:
Active Directory
LDAP
RADIUS / RADIUS Accounting
