622 Configuring AAA for network users
NN47250-500 (Version 03.01)

Using the wildcard “Any” as the SSID name in authentication rules

You can configure an authentication rule to match on all SSID strings by using the SSID string any in the rule. For
example, the following rule matches on all SSID strings requested by all users:
set authentication web ssid any ** sg1
WSS Software checks authentication rules in the order they appear in the configuration file. As a result, if a rule with
SSID any appears in the configuration before a rule that matches on a specific SSID for the same authentication type and
userglob, the rule with any always matches first.
To ensure the authentication behavior that you expect, place the most specific rules first and place rules with SSID any
last. For example, to ensure that users who request SSID corpa are authenticated using RADIUS server group corpasrvr,
place the following rule in the configuration before the rule with SSID any:
set authentication web ssid corpa ** corpasrvr
Here is an example of a AAA configuration where the most-specific rules for 802.1X are first and the rules with any are
last:
WSS# show aaa
...
set authentication dot1x ssid mycorp Geetha eap-tls
set authentication dot1x ssid mycorp * peap-mschapv2 sg1 sg2 sg3
set authentication dot1x ssid any ** peap-mschapv2 sg1 sg 2 sg3
