About AAA for Network Users 439

MSS provides the following VSAs, which you can assign to users configured in the local database or on a RADIUS server:

„Encryption-Type— Specifies the type of encryption required for access by the client. Clients who attempt to use an unauthorized encryption method are rejected.

„End-Date— Date and time after which the user is no longer allowed to be on the network.

„Mobility-Profile— Controls the WX switch ports a user can access. For wireless users, an MSS Mobility Profile specifies the MAPs through which the user can access the network. For wired authentication users, the Mobility Profile specifies the wired authentication ports through which the user can access the network.

„SSID — SSID the user is allowed to access after authentication.

„Start-Date— Date and time at which the user becomes eligible to access the network. MSS does not authenticate the user unless the attempt to access the network occurs at or after the specified date and time, but before the end-date (if specified).

„Time-of-Day— Day(s) and time(s) during which the user is permitted to log into the network.

„URL — URL to which the user is redirected after successful WebAAA.

„VLAN-Name— VLAN to place the user on.

You also can assign the following RADIUS attributes to users configured in the local database.

„Filter-Id— Security ACL that permits or denies traffic received by (input) or sent by (output) the user.

„Service-Type— Type of access the user is requesting, which can be network access, administrative access to the enabled (configuration) mode of the MSS CLI, or administrative access to the nonenabled mode of the CLI

„Session-Timeout— Maximum number of seconds allowed for the user session.

Regardless of whether you configure the user and attributes on RADIUS servers or the WX local database, the VLAN attribute is required. The other attributes are optional.
