RADIUS Server Policies
A RADIUS server policy is a unique
authentication and authorization configuration for client connection requests,
authenticating users and returning the configuration information necessary to deliver
service to the requesting client and user. The client is the entity with authentication
information requiring validation. The controller, service platform or Access Point's
local RADIUS server has a database of authentication information used to validate the
client's authentication request.
The RADIUS server ensures the information is correct
using an authentication scheme like PAP, CHAP or EAP. The user's proof of
identification is verified, along with, optionally, other information. A RADIUS
server policy can also use an external LDAP resource to verify user
credentials.
To review RADIUS existing
server policies, manage the creation of new policies of manage the modification of
existing policies:
-
Select a server policy from the
Server Policy Browser to edit or delete.
-
Click Copy to copy the
settings of a selected (existing) RADIUS server configuration to a new or
existing policy.
When selected, a small dialogue displays prompting the administrator to enter
the name of policy to copy the existing policy settings to. Enter the name of
the RADIUS server policy receiving the existing server policy settings within
the Copy To field and click Copy
to initiate the configuration copy operation. This feature streamlines the
creation of RADIUS server policies using the attributes of existing server
policies.
-
An existing RADIUS server policy can be renamed at
any time by selecting it from among the listed policies and clicking Rename.
This allows an administrator to simply
rename a server policy without having to create (or edit) a new policy with all
the same settings.
