Configuring The Internal Radius Server - ZyXEL Communications NWA3000-N User Manual

The following figure shows how this is done. Wireless clients make access requests to trusted APs,
which relay the requests to the device.

RADIUS Server
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 an entry in the Object > Users
screen's list so that the RADIUS server can be authenticated.
Note: The device can function as an AP and as a RADIUS server at the same time.

15.10.1 Configuring the Internal RADIUS Server

Use this screen to turn the device's internal RADIUS server off or on, select the certificate it uses,
and maintain a list of trusted client APs. A trusted AP is an AP that uses the device's internal
RADIUS server to authenticate its wireless clients. Each wireless client must have a user name and
password configured in the Object > Users screen.
