Definition
When a wireless client requests access to a network, it is required to be
authenticated by a central authentication server (RADIUS Server). Only an
authenticated user can access the wireless network.
RADIUS Server
Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) is a protocol for carrying
authentication, authorization, and configuration information between a Network
Access Server which desires to authenticate its links and a shared Authentication
Server.
