Enabling Automatic User Activation with Zero-IT
Ruckus Wireless Zero-IT Activation allows network users to self-activate their devices
for secure access to your wireless networks with no manual configuration required by
the network administrator. Once your ZoneFlex network is set up, you need only direct
users to the Activation URL, and they will be able to automatically authenticate themselves
to securely access your wireless LAN.
Before enabling Zero-IT, make sure you have at least one of each of the following
configured:
• A WLAN configured (Configure > WLANs)
• A user Role with access to this WLAN (Configure > Roles)
• A User with this role assigned that exists in either the internal database or an external
RADIUS, Active Directory or LDAP server (Configure > Users)
To enable Zero-IT activation, do the following:
1.
Go to
Configure
>
WLANs
.
2.
Click
Edit
on the WLAN where you want to enable Zero-IT Activation.
3.
Enable
WPA2
(not WPA-Mixed; selecting WPA-Mixed will disable the Zero-IT option).
4.
Enter a passphrase. (This passphrase will only be used for administrator testing - you
will not need to provide this passphrase to end users.)
5.
Enable
Zero-IT Activation
.
6.
Optionally, enable
Dynamic PSK
if your WLAN's authentication and encryption
methods support it (Open authentication and WPA2 encryption only; see
on page 222 for more information.)
7.
If the Authentication Method is 802.1X or MAC Address, select which
Authentication
Server
to authenticate users against. If you are not using an external server for
authentication, you can use ZoneDirector's internal database.
8.
Note the
Activation URL
in the Zero-IT Activation section further down the page.
9.
Click
OK
to save your settings.
