Creating a User Role with Active Directory Authentication

Configuring user roles using AD authentication provides broad range of directory-based identity-related services.
To create a User Role with AD authentication:

    Create a new Proxy AD server and apply the UTP. Refer to Creating Proxy Authentication AAA Servers in RUCKUS SmartZone Access and Security Services Guide.
  4. Note: In step 4 of the authentication test, for the Service Protocol option, choose Active Directory and proceed.
    Perform an authentication test to ensure that the user gets assigned the correct Role. Refer to Testing AAA Servers in RUCKUS SmartZone Access and Security Services Guide.
  5. Create a web authentication portal WLAN configuration and assign the Non-proxy AD server to it. Refer to RUCKUS SmartZone Network Administration Guide.
    1. Choose WLAN Usage > Authentication Type > Web Authentication.
