Setting up Centralized Administrator Authentication

The Centralized Administrator Authentication feature on the access point allows the use of an AAA server (RADIUS or TACACS+) services to authenticate users when the User Manager function is enabled on the access point. The AAA server verifies the user login and passes back the appropriate privileges for the user (or administrator) when a login attempt is successful.

Note	You must have at least one user configured on the access point before you can enable the user manager
	feature.
	Follow these steps to set up Centralized Administrator Authentication on the access point.
Step 1	From Services section of the Setup page, click Security. The Security Setup page appears.
Step 2	Click User Information. The User Information page appears.
Step 3	Click Add New User. The User Management window appears.
Step 4	Add a new user with full administrative capabilities (all capability settings checked).
Step 5	Click Apply. You are returned to the User Information page.
