This task is part of the network policy configuration
workflow. Use this task to add an Active Directory (AD) database to an Extreme Networks
device acting as a RADIUS Server.
-
For Step 3, on the Configure RADIUS Servers page, select
an existing AD server from the
menu, or select 
.
-
Type a
Name for the AD server.
-
Type the name of the
Domain, to which the RADIUS authentication server and
the AD server both belong.
(Range: 1–64 characters). Include parent domains, such as .com, .net, and
.org.
-
Select Auto or
Manual.

| Manual |
Go to Step 5. |
-
From the drop-down list, choose a previously-defined IP object or host name for
the Active Directory Server that contains the user
accounts the RADIUS authentication server will authenticate.
If you do not see the one that you need listed, select
New and enter an IP object or host name.
-
Type the
BaseDN—The starting point for directory server
searches, and the point in the directory tree structure where the server stores
user accounts.
-
Type a Short Domain
Name.
-
Type the Realm name that
corresponds to the user account location, which is often the same as the domain
name.
-
Set the organizational unit (OU)
where the Extreme Networks RADIUS server has privileges to add itself as a
computer in the domain or leave it blank.
Note
By default, the RADIUS
server attempts to add itself into
Computers
unless you specify a computer-ou here. If you do not want to give a
device access to the Computers container, you can create your own OU and
give the device user permissions to create computers (that is, to add
itself) to the specified OU. For example, the computer OU might be
wireless/APs.
-
Select Enable TLS Encryption to encrypt the user look-up
requests that the Extreme Networks RADIUS server sends to the Active Directory
server.
-
Select NEXT.
-
Select an existing DNS Server, or
select
to create a new one.
-
Select NEXT.
Continue configuring the RADIUS server.
