Configuring RADIUS authentication
About this task
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a client/server protocol and
software that enables remote access servers to communicate with a central server to
authenticate dial-in users and authorize their access to the requested system or service.
RADIUS allows a company to maintain user profiles in a central database that all remote
servers can share. It provides better security, allowing a company to set up a policy that can
be applied at a single administered network point.
Use the following commands to configure WLAN 8100 controller so that it can communicate
with the RADIUS server and allow authentication management for users on the controller.
