8.7.16 Authentication Method

Authentication method objects set how the NXC5200 authenticates wireless, HTTP/HTTPS clients,
and captive portal clients. Configure authentication method objects to have the NXC5200 use the
local user database, and/or the authentication servers and authentication server groups specified
by AAA server objects. By default, user accounts created and stored on the NXC5200 are
authenticated locally.
Note: Configure AAA server objects before you configure authentication method objects.
Click Wireless Controller Management > Profile > Wireless Profile > Auth. Method to
display the Authentication Method screen. To create a new Authentication Method profile click
the Add button, or to edit an existing one select a profile from the list and click the Edit button.
ENC User's Guide
DESCRIPTION
Select the name and number of the attribute that the NXC5200 is to check to determine to
which group a user belongs. If it does not display, select user-defined and specify the
attribute's number.
This attribute's value is called a group identifier; it determines to which group a user
belongs. You can add ext-group-user user objects to identify groups based on these
group identifier values.
For example you could have an attribute named "memberOf" with values like "sales", "RD",
and "management". Then you could also create a ext-group-user user object for each
group. One with "sales" as the group identifier, another for "RD" and a third for
"management".
