Managing User Accounts
The Vivato Wi-Fi AP/Bridge includes a built-in remote authentication dial-in user service (RADIUS) server
that is used to configure user accounts to provide secured wireless network access.
User management and authentication must always be used in conjunction with the following two security
modes which require the use of a
server for user authentication and management.
•
IEEE 802.1x mode (see “IEEE 802.1x” on page 102 in Configuring Security)
•
WPA with RADIUS mode (see “WPA with RADIUS” on page 104 in Configuring Security)
You have the option of using either the internal RADIUS server embedded in the Vivato Wi-Fi AP/Bridge or
an external RADIUS server that you provide. If you use the embedded RADIUS server, use this
VivatoVision Web page on the AP/Bridge to set up and manage user accounts. If you are using an external
RADIUS server, you will need to set up and manage user accounts on the Administrative interface for that
server.
On the User Management page, you can create, edit, remove, and view client
user accounts
. Each user
account consists of a user name and password. The set of users specified here represent approved
clients
that can log in and use one or more AP/Bridges to access local and possibly external networks via your
wireless network.
The following topics are covered:
•
•
•
•
•
Enabling and Disabling User Accounts
•
Note
Users specified here are clients of the AP/Bridge who use it as a connectivity hub, not administrators
of the wireless network. Only those with the administrator username and password and knowledge of
the VivatoVision URL can log in as an administrator and view or modify configuration settings.
