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 drop-down list box to select 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.
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.
