PMP 450 Configuration and User Guide
Task 12: Configuring a RADIUS server
pmp-0050 (May 2012)
2-133
SM – Technician/Installer/Administrator Authentication
To control technician, installer, and administrator access to the SM from a centralized RADIUS
server:
1
Set
Authentication Mode
on the AP‘s Configuration > Security tab to
AAA
(RADIUS)
2
Set
User Authentication Mode
on the AP‘s Account > User Authentication and Accounting tab
(the tab only appears after the AP is set to AAA authentication) to
Remote
or
Remote then Local
.
3
Set
User Authentication Mode
on the SM‘s Account > User Authentication and Accounting tab to
Remote
or
Remote then Local
.
•
Local
: The local SM is checked for accounts. No centralized RADIUS
accounting (access control) is performed.
•
Remote
: Authentication by the centralized RADIUS server is required to gain access to
the SM if the SM is registered to an AP that has
RADIUS AAA Authentication Mode
selected. For up to 2 minutes a test pattern will be displayed until the server responds or
times out.
•
Remote then Local
: Authentication using the centralized RADIUS server is attempted. If
the server sends a reject message, then the setting of
Allow Local Login after Reject from
AAA
determines if the local user database is checked or not. If the configured servers do not
respond within 2 minutes, then the local user database is used. The successful login method is
displayed in the navigation column of the SM.
Note, remote access control is enabled only after the SM registers to an AP that has
Authentication Mode
set
to
RADIUS AAA
. Local access control will always be used before registration and will be used after
registration if the AP is not configured for RADIUS.
