Configuring Pass-Through Authentication - Nortel 2350 Installation And Basic Configuration Manual

• VLAN-Name—This attribute is a Nortel vendor-specific attribute (VSA).
Note.
You cannot configure the Tunnel-Private-Group-ID attribute in the local user
database.
Specify the VLAN name, not the VLAN number. The examples in this chapter assume the VLAN is assigned on a
RADIUS server with either of the valid attributes.
Other RADIUS attributes and VSAs are optional. (For information about Nortel VSAs, see the Nortel Mobility System
Software Configuration Guide.)

Configuring Pass-Through Authentication

To configure a WSS to use a group of RADIUS servers to perform all user authentication:
1
Configure the RADIUS servers and add them to a server group. You must configure a server group even if
you have only one server. (See
page 118.)
2
Set the authentication protocol to pass-through. Pass-through authentication does not require local user
information or user certificates on the WSS. (See
Pass-Through Authentication" on page
Figure 24 shows an example of pass-through user authentication.
