Testing AAA Servers

To ensure that the controller administrators will be able to authenticate successfully with the RADIUS server type that you selected, RUCKUS strongly recommends testing the AAA server after you set it up.
  1. Go to Security > Authentication.
  2. Select the Proxy (SZ Authenticator) tab, and then select the zone for which you want to test the AAA server.
  3. Click Test AAA.
    The Test AAA Server page appears.

  4. Configure the following:
    1. Name: Select one of the AAA servers that you previously created.
    2. User Name: Type an existing user name on the AAA server that you selected.
    3. Password: Type the password for the user name you specified.
  5. Click Test.
    If the controller was able to connect to the authentication server and retrieve the configured groups/attributes, the information appears at the bottom of the page. If the test was unsuccessful, there are two possible results (other than success) that will be displayed to inform you if you have entered information incorrectly: Admin invalid or User name or password invalid. These results can be used to troubleshoot the reasons for failure to authenticate administrators with an AAA server through the controller.
