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.
