Creating User Accounts On The Prestige - ZyXEL Communications Prestige 660W Series User Manual

Prestige 660W/HW Series User's Guide
FIELD
Authentication The authentication database contains wireless station login information. The local user
Databases database is the built-in database on the Prestige. The RADIUS is an external server. Use
this field to decide which database the Prestige should use (first) to authenticate a
wireless station.
Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding database
correctly first.
When you configure Key Management Protocol to WPA, the Authentication
Databases must be RADIUS Only. You can only use the Local User Database with
802.1x Key Management Protocol.
Select Local User Database Only to have the Prestige just check the built-in user
database on the Prestige for a wireless station's username and password.
Select RADIUS Only to have the Prestige just check the user database on the specified
RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password.
Select Local first, then RADIUS to have the Prestige first check the user database on
the Prestige for a wireless station's username and password. If the user name is not
found, the Prestige then checks the user database on the specified RADIUS server.
Select RADIUS first, then Local to have the Prestige first check the user database on
the specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password. If the
Prestige cannot reach the RADIUS server, the Prestige then checks the local user
database on the Prestige. When the user name is not found or password does not match
in the RADIUS server, the Prestige will not check the local user database and the
authentication fails.
When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt "Press ENTER to confirm or ESC to
cancel" to save your configuration or press [ESC] to cancel and go back to the previous screen.
Once you enable user authentication, you need to specify an external RADIUS server or create local user
accounts on the Prestige for authentication.
