Configure Authentication Settings Management Options

Before you begin

Create or open an existing Management Option. See Add Management Options for more information.

In this section, configure a database location for storing administrator accounts, set the PPSK (Private PSK) save list, and the MAC address format.

Specify the administrator accounts database that stores log-in credentials.
You can store administrator accounts locally on APs, remotely on RADIUS authentication servers, or in both places. If you select BOTH, the device authenticates administrators by first checking accounts on the external RADIUS servers specified in the RADIUS profile, and then checking accounts stored on its local database.
Note
If all the AP admin accounts are on a RADIUS server and the device cannot connect to it, the administrators will not be able to log into the device.
Set the length of time that a device acting as a private PSK server automatically saves its list of private PSK-to-client MAC address bindings to flash memory.
To accommodate MAC Address format requirements, specify the types of delimiters between groups of digits, the number of groups to use, and whether to use lower case or upper case.
How you set these parameters controls how MAC authentication for local users on an Extreme Networks RADIUS server is affected. For example, if you set case sensitivity as lower case and store local users with upper case MAC addresses for their user names and passwords, MAC authentication checks fail.
Select SAVE.
