Introduction
The Gateway 7001 Series self-managed APs include user management capabilities for
controlling client access to access points.
User management and authentication must always be used in conjunction with the
following two security modes, which require use of a RADIUS server for user authentication
and management.
■ IEEE 802.1x mode (see “IEEE 802.1x” on page 93 in Configuring network security)
■ WPA with RADIUS mode (see “WPA with RADIUS” on page 95 in Configuring network
security)
You have the option of using either the internal RADIUS server embedded in the Gateway
7001 Series self-managed AP or an external RADIUS server that you provide. If you use
the Gateway 7001 Series self-managed AP embedded RADIUS server, use this
Administration Web page on the access point to set up and manage user accounts. If you
are using an external RADIUS server, you need to set up and manage user accounts on
the Administrative interface for that server.
On the User Management page, you can create, edit, remove, and view client user accounts.
Each user account consists of a user name and password. The set of users specified here
represent approved clients that can log in and use one or more access points to access local
and possibly external networks via your wireless network.
Important Users specified here are clients of the Gateway access
point(s) who use the APs as a connectivity hub, not
administrators of the wireless network. Only those with the
administrator user name and password and knowledge of
the administration URL can log in as an administrator and
view or modify configuration settings.
