Once you enable user authentication, you need to specify an external RADIUS server or create
local user accounts on the Prestige for authentication.
35.2 Creating User Accounts on the Prestige
By storing user profiles locally, your Prestige is able to authenticate wireless users without
interacting with a network RADIUS server.
Follow the steps below to set up user profiles on your Prestige.
1
From the main menu, enter 14 to display Menu 14 - Dial-in User Setup .
Authentication
Databases
The authentication database contains wireless station login information. The local
user database is the built-in database on the Prestige. The RADIUS is an external
server. Use this field to decide which database the Prestige should use (first) to
authenticate a wireless station.
Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding
database correctly first.
When you configure
Key Management Protocol to WPA , the Authentication
Databases must be RADIUS Only . You can only use the Local User Database
with 802.1x Key Management Protocol .
Select Local User Database Only to have the Prestige just check the built-in user
database on the Prestige for a wireless station's username and password.
Select
RADIUS Only to have the Prestige just check the user database on the
specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password.
Select
Local first, then RADIUS to have the Prestige first check the user database
on the Prestige for a wireless station's username and password. If the user name is
not found, the Prestige then checks the user database on the specified RADIUS
server.
Select
RADIUS first, then Local to have the Prestige first check the user database
on the specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password. If
the Prestige cannot reach the RADIUS server, the Prestige then checks the local
user database on the Prestige. When the user name is not found or password does
not match in the RADIUS server, the Prestige will not check the local user database
and the authentication fails.
When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt “ Press ENTER to Confirm
or ESC to Cancel: ” to save your configuration, or press [ESC] at any time to cancel.
