Manage Security Profiles and Profile Groups

for the advanced authentication groups. You can assign the basic-LDAP server to both

the basic profile group and to advanced profile groups.

All three servers can be active so that the profiles that you set up can be configured to work

with different authentication servers. For example, you could set up a guest profile with no

authentication, an engineering profile that uses external RADIUS authentication, and a

marketing profile that uses external LDAP authentication.

Note: For authentication, you can configure and use a single LDAP server

only. However, you can configure and use several RADIUS servers.

The settings that you specify on the Authentication Server screen affect the selections that

are available in the Network Authentication menu and the corresponding Authentication

Server field on the Edit Profile screens. For information about how to configure security

profiles, see

Configure a Profile in the Basic Profile Group on page 86 and Configure a

Profile in an Advanced Profile Group on page 93.

Configure Basic Authentication Server Settings

Use the basic Authentication Server screen to set up the internal authentication server, the

basic external RADIUS server (which is called Auth-basic), and the external LDAP server

(which is called Auth-LDAP). After you have set up these authentication servers, you can

assign any of them to any profile, whether in the basic profile group or in an advanced profile

group.

 To configure a basic authentication server:

1. Open a web browser. In the browser’s address field, type the http:// followed by the IP

address that you assigned to the wireless controller.

By default, the IP address is 192.168.0.250. If you have not yet assigned another IP

address to the wireless controller, type http://192.168.0.250.

The wireless controller’s login screen displays.

2. Enter your user name and password.

If you have not yet personalized your user name and password, enter admin for the user

name and password for the password, both in lowercase letters.

3. Click the Login button.

The wireless controller’s web management interface opens and displays the Summary

screen.

4. Select Configuration > Security > Basic > Authentication Server.
