Configuring Access Point Security 6-67
6.10.5 Defining User Access Permissions by Group
An external AAA server maintains the users and groups database used by the access point for access
permissions. Various kinds of access policies can be applied to each group. Individual groups can be
associated with their own time-based access policy. Each group’s policy has a user defined interval
defining the days and hours access is permitted. Authentication requests for users belonging to the
group are honored only during these defined hourly intervals.
Refer to the
Access Policy
screen to define WLAN access for the user group(s) defined within the
Users screen. Each group created within the Users screen displays in the Access Policy screen within
the groups column. Similarly, existing WLANs can be individually mapped to user groups by clicking
the WLANs button to the right of each group name. For more information on creating groups and
users, see
Managing the Local User Database on page 6-63 . For information on creating a new WLAN
or editing the properties of an existing WLAN, see Creating/Editing Individual WLANs on page 5-32 .
1. Select User Authentication -> Radius Server -> Access Policy from the menu tree.
CAUTION If using the Radius time-based authentication feature to authenticate
access point user permissions, ensure
UTC has been selected from
the Date and Time Settings screen’s Time Zone field. If UTC is not
selected, time based authentication will not work properly. For
information on setting the time zone for the access point, see
Configuring Network Time Protocol (NTP) on page 4-44 .
