17.1.2 What You Need To Know

The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
The NWA has a built-in RADIUS server that can authenticate wireless clients or
other trusted APs. Certificates are used by wireless clients to authenticate the
RADIUS server. These are "digital signatures" that identify network devices.
Certificates ensure that the clients supply their login details to the correct device.
Information matching the certificate is held on the wireless client's utility. A
password and user name on the utility must match the Trusted Users list so that
the RADIUS server can be authenticated.
Note: The NWA can function as an AP and as a RADIUS server at the same time.
