This topic outlines the MAC-Based Authentication settings.
MAC-Based Authorization Configuration - Fields and Buttons
| Field/Button | Description |
|---|---|
| MAC-based authorization on roam | Select method for MAC-based authorization: Never: disables the feature On inter-AP roam: enables MAC-based authorization on roam. On inter-Area roam: enables MAC-based authorization sent to the RADIUS server on area roams. |
| Automatically Authenticate Authorized Users | Select to automatically authenticate authorized users. When set, a station that passes MAC-based authentication is treated as fully authorized. For example, its authentication state is set to fully authenticated. This can trigger a change to the role applied to the station. If Captive Portal authentication is also configured on the WLAN Service, a station that passes MAC-based authentication will not have to pass Captive Portal authentication as well. |
| Allow Un-Authorized Users | Select to allow un-authorized users which permits stations
that do not pass MAC-based authentication to stay on the network in an
un-authorized state. The station can be confined to a “Walled Garden” by its
assigned role. If Captive Portal authentication is also configured on the WLAN
Service, a station that fails MAC-based authentication can still become authorized
by passing Captive Portal authentication. Note: Only select this
check box if you want your clients to be authorized every time they roam to
another AP. If this option is not enabled, and MAC-based authentication is in
use, the client is authenticated only at the start of a session.
