Integrating a RADIUS Accounting Server
As an optional configuration, AWMS supports RADIUS server accounting. Use the AMP Setup > RADIUS
Accounting page enables this configuration. This capability is not required for basic AWMS operation, but can
increase the user-friendliness of AWMS administration in large networks. Figure 31 illustrates the settings of this
optional configuration interface.
Perform the following steps and configurations to enable AWMS to receive accounting records from a separate
RADIUS server.
Figure 31 illustrates the display of RADIUS accounting clients already configured, and
Figure 32
illustrates the Add RADIUS Accounting Client page.

For additional information about configuring WLAN Gateways or WLAN controllers such as BlueSocket,
ReefEdge, or ProCurve wireless gateways, refer to
“Third-Party Security Integration for AWMS” on page 305 .
Note: AWMS checks the local username and password store before checking with the RADIUS server. If the user is found locally,
the local password and local role apply. When using RADIUS, it is not necessary or recommended to define users on the AWMS
server. The only recommended user is the backup administrator, in the event that the RADIUS server goes down.
