Authenticating Clients Using an External Database

In addition to the internal user database, authenticating clients using an external authentication server is also supported.

To enable external authentication, you must first create an "AAA Server" entry, and then apply the AAA server to one or more WLANs with external authentication enabled. The following types of external authentication servers are supported:

  • Microsoft Active Directory
  • RADIUS

For more information on configuring AAA servers, refer to AAA Servers.
