Radius operation
27
This uses a new type code and the attribute
now contains the length of the WEP key in
bytes expressed as a 2-character ASCII hex
string in the range 05 to 10. When configuring
a Radius server, the two strings shown above
can be treated as a single 34-character hex
string.
When AP receives the Access-Accept message, if
a vendor-specific attribute is present the WEP-
key is extracted from the Radius and the AP
continues its normal IEEE802.11 authentication
procedure using the supplied WEP key for
communication with the station. If no key is
provided, the AP will continue to use the keys
existing on the AP – normally the current
default key. IEEE802.11 authentication is not
described in this document.
If the Radius server cannot identify the station,
it will send an
Access-Reject message to the AP.
The AP will terminate the IEEE802.11
authentication and return an error code to the
wireless station.
