Chapter 8 Security Setup

Setting up Centralized Administrator Authentication

If the user entry is not accessed within 5 minutes, the next access causes a new server request to be sent to the authentication server so the user and new privileges are cached again.

If the response is a rejection, a reject response is issued just as if the local database entry was not found. the administrator is also rejected in the case where they exist on the the authentication server but do not have administrative capabilities configured.

Authorization Parameters

The following authentication server attribute value (AV) pair is returned to the access point for an administrator login request:

This is RADIUS attribute #26, Cisco Vendor ID #9, type #1 --- string.

Cisco:Avpair = “aironet:admin-capability=write+snmp+ident+firmware+admin”

Any combination of capabilities are returned with this attribute, for example:

Cisco:Avpair = “aironet:admin-capability=ident+admin”

Cisco:Avpair = “aironet:admin-capability=admin”

The following is an example of a Livingston RADIUS server users file entry:

User password = “aironet”

Service-Type = Outbound

cisco-avpair = “aironet:admin-capability-ident+admin”

The following is an example of a TACACS+ server users file entry:

Service - Aironet

Protocol - Shell

cisco-avpair = “aironet:admin-capability=ident+admin”

See the “Creating a List of Authorized Management System Users” section on page 8-33or click Help on the Authenticator Configuration page for an explanation of the attributes returned by the server.
