RADIUS dummy password
Note that all the usernames entered into the
RADIUS database will have the same password
field (= dummy password). There can be a
different shared secret for each access point –
the RADIUS server will identify the correct
shared secret based on the IP address of the
requesting access point.
The WEP key is sent across the link in plain
text. This means that the RADIUS server does
not encrypt the WEP key. However, the Key
generator utility (WEPGen) encrypts the WEP
key before it is entered into the RADIUS
database. Therefore the system is protected
from unauthorized interception.
The Nokia A032 allows you to enter the IP
addresses of two RADIUS servers. If a request to
the primary server does not receive a reply a
second attempt will be made to the secondary
server. In this way a redundant backup can be
maintained.
