Enabling Automatic User Activation with Zero-IT

Ruckus Wireless Zero-IT Activation allows network users to self-activate their devices for secure
access to your wireless networks with no manual configuration required by the network
administrator. Once your ZoneFlex network is set up, you need only direct users to the
Activation URL, and they will be able to automatically authenticate themselves to securely
access your wireless LAN.
Before enabling Zero-IT, make sure you have at least one of each of the following configured:
• A WLAN configured (Configure > WLANs)
• A user Role with access to this WLAN (Configure > Roles)
• A User with this role assigned that exists in either the internal database or an external
RADIUS, Active Directory or LDAP server (Configure > Users)
To enable Zero-IT activation, do the following:
1. Go to Configure > WLANs.
2. Click Edit on the WLAN where you want to enable Zero-IT Activation.
3. Enable WPA or WPA2 (not WPA-Mixed; selecting WPA-Mixed will disable the Zero-IT
option).
4. Enter a passphrase. (This passphrase will only be used for administrator testing - you will
not need to provide this passphrase to end users.)
5. Enable Zero-IT Activation.
6. Optionally, enable Dynamic PSK if your WLAN's authentication and encryption methods
support it (Open authentication and WPA or WPA2 encryption only; see
Dynamic Pre-Shared Keys"
7. If the Authentication Method is 802.1X or MAC Address, select which Authentication Server
to authenticate users against. If you are not using an external server for authentication, you
can use ZoneDirector's internal database.
8. Note the Activation URL in the Zero-IT Activation section further down the page.
9. Click OK to save your settings.
