GUI that walks you through the tasks and Server Manager screens for
securing WLANs with the HP-UX AAA Server.

Access-Accept
The AAA server returns an Access-Accept to the client when an
Access-Request is valid. The Access-Accept will contain A-V pairs that
specify what services the authenticated user is authorized to use.
Access-Challenge
The AAA server returns an Access-Challenge to the client when it is
necessary to issue a challenge that the user must respond to. The client will
resubmit the request with the user-supplied information to the AAA server.
Access-Reject
The AAA server returns an Access-Reject to the client when an
Access-Request is invalid.
Access-Request
Created by the client, the Access-Request contains A-V Pairs, such as the
user’s name, password, and ID of the client. The client submits the
Access-Request to an AAA server. If the server can validate the client, the
server will attempt to match a user entry in its database with information
in the Access-Request to authenticate the user.
