Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA)

Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) is a security framework used to manage user access and track activities within a network. In SmartZone (SZ) controllers, AAA is crucial for ensuring secure and efficient network management.

In this section:

  1. Authentication
    Verifies user identities to ensure only authorized individuals access the network.
  2. Authorization
    Determines the level of access and permissions granted to authenticated users.
  3. Accounting
    Determines the level of access and permissions granted to authenticated users.
  4. Creating Realm Based Proxy
    An accounting profile defines the accounting policy when the controller is used as a RADIUS proxy for WLAN services.
