Working with controlled APs
Authentication of controlled APs
The service controller retrieves authentication list entries when:
The Authentication interval expires
Authenticate Now is clicked
Save is clicked
Each time the service controller starts up.
Each time the authentication list entries are retrieved, all connected APs are checked against
it. If an AP MAC address is no longer listed, its connection is terminated.
Note Although the same RADIUS account can be shared between this option and the Public
access > Attributes page, it is recommended that a separate RADIUS account be created
for each option.
General settings
Authentication interval
Specifies the interval at which the service controller retrieves authentication list entries
from the selected authentication sources. After the entries are retrieved all controlled
APs are evaluated against the new list.
Authenticate Now
Causes the service controller to retrieve authentication list entries from all selected
sources.
Use file authentication list
When this option is selected, the service controller retrieves authentication list entries
from a file. This must be an ASCII file with one or more MAC addresses in it. Each
address must be entered on a separate line. For example:
00:03:52:00:00:01
00:03:52:00:00:02
00:03:52:00:00:03
A label affixed to each AP indicates its Ethernet Base MAC Address. This is the address to
specify in the authentication list.
File location
Specify the location of the file to use for authentication of APs using either HTTP or FTP.
For example:
ftp://mydomain.com/auth_list
ftp://username:password@mydomain.com/auth_list
http://mydomain.com/auth_list
Use RADIUS authentication list
When this option is selected, the service controller retrieves authentication list entries
from a RADIUS server. List entries must be defined in the RADIUS account for the
service controller using the following Colubris-AVPair value string:
managed-ap=MAC_address
