9.4.3 Configuring the RADIUS Server

A RADIUS server policy is a unique authentication and authorization configuration for receiving user connection
requests, authenticating users and returning the configuration information necessary for the RADIUS client to deliver
service to the user. An access point's requesting client is the entity with authentication information requiring
validation. The access point's local RADIUS server has access to a database of authentication information used to
validate client authentication requests.
The RADIUS server ensures the information is correct using authentication schemes like PAP, CHAP or EAP. The user's
proof of identification is verified, along with, optionally, other information. The access point's RADIUS server policy
can also be configured to refer to an external LDAP resource to verify the user's credentials. The creation and
utilization of a single RADIUS server policy is supported.
To manage the access point's RADIUS server policy:
1. Select Configuration > Services.
