2.4.6. Configuring User Authentication Settings
All editions of the WLAN hotspot access gateway support Web redirection-based user authentication.
Furthermore, the
Wireless Advanced edition of the access gateway, which has a built-in access point,
supports IEEE 802.1x-based user authentication.
After the IP addressing settings have been set using ConfigWizard, you have to configure Web redi-
rection settings and/or IEEE 802.1x settings for wireless user authentication.
NOTE: If both Web redirection and IEEE 802.1x are enabled, the authentication process is 2-phase.
In the first phase, IEEE 802.1x is tried and in the second phase, Web redirection is tried. A user, who
fails in the first phase or uses a computer that does not support IEEE 802.1x, is given a second
chance. In this way, the wireless access gateway can serve both IEEE 802.1x-enabled and IEEE
802.1x-disabled wireless users.
2.4.6.1. Web Redirection
If you want to do Web redirection-based user authentication, go to the Authentication, Web Redi-
rection section, and then enable the Web Redirection functionality by choosing Enabled with Au-
thentication from the Functionality drop-down list and choose a RADIUS authentication method
that is used by your RADIUS server. Click Save when finished.

TIP: There is an additional document on the accompanying CD-ROM, “Setting up a WLAN with
Authentication Support Based on Web Redirection” which details how to set up a Web redirec-
tion-based authentication framework with a Windows 2000 server as the RADIUS server.
2.4.6.2. IEEE 802.1x
Fig. 14. Changing security mode to an IEEE 802.1x option.
If you want to do IEEE 802.1x-based user authentication, go to the IEEE 802.1x, Security section,
and then change the Security mode setting to an IEEE 802.1x-related option according to your needs.
The advanced wireless access gateway supports IEEE 802.1x EAP-MD5 and EAP-TLS authentication
methods. Click
Save when finished.

See the IEEE 802.1x-related white papers on the accompanying CD-ROM for more information
