DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

Authentication

The authentication database contains wireless station login information. The local user

 

 

Databases

database is the built-in database on the ZyAIR. The RADIUS is an external server.

 

 

 

Use this drop-down list box to select which database the ZyAIR should use (first) to

 

 

 

authenticate a wireless station.

 

 

 

Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding

 

 

 

database correctly first.

 

 

 

Select Local User Database Only to have the ZyAIR just check the built-in user

 

 

 

database on the ZyAIR for a wireless station's username and password.

 

 

 

Select RADIUS Only to have the ZyAIR just check the user database on the specified

 

 

 

RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password.

 

 

 

Select Local first, then RADIUS to have the ZyAIR first check the user database on

 

 

 

the ZyAIR for a wireless station's username and password. If the user name is not

 

 

 

found, the ZyAIR then checks the user database on the specified RADIUS server.

 

 

 

Select RADIUS first, then Local to have the ZyAIR first check the user database on

 

 

 

the specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password. If the

 

 

 

ZyAIR cannot reach the RADIUS server, the ZyAIR then checks the local user

 

 

 

database on the ZyAIR. When the user name is not found or password does not match

 

 

 

in the RADIUS server, the ZyAIR will not check the local user database and the

 

 

 

authentication fails.
