Pre-Authorization History - D-Link DWC-1000 User Manual

Pre-Authorization History

Path: STATUS > Wireless Client Info > Pre-Auth History
To help authenticated clients roam without losing sessions and needing to re-authenticate,
wireless clients can try to authenticate to other access points within range of the client. For
successful pre-authentication, the target access point must have a VAP with an SSID and
security configuration that match the client, including MAC authentication, encryption
method, and pre-shared key or RADIUS parameters. The access point that the client is
associated with captures all pre-authentication requests and sends them to the controller.
The DETECTED CLIENT PRE-AUTHENTICATION HISTORY SUMMARY page shows
detected clients that have made pre-authentication requests and identifies the access points
that received the requests.
