MAC Authentication Request Format

37

Usage — You can configure different authentication methods for
different groups of MAC addresses by “globbing.”

Examples — To set the MAC address glob for authenticating an SSID,
use the following command:

WX# set authentication mac-prefix ssid any 00:00*

success: change accepted.

MAC
Authentication
Request Format

A new parameter,

mac-addr-format

, is available in the

set radius

server

command to configure a MAC address format to be sent as a

username to a RADIUS server for MAC authentication.

To configure the MAC address format with MSS, use the following
command:

WX# set radius server

name mac-addr-format {hyphens | colons

| one-hyphen | raw}

For example:

WX# set radius server sp1 mac-addr-format ?

You can also configure all RADIUS servers to use a specific MAC address
format with the following command:

WX# set radius mac-addr-format {hyphens | colons | one-hyphen

| raw}

User Attribute
Enhancements

The RADIUS standard (RFC 2865) allows the attribute

user-name

to be

returned as part of the access-accept handshake. The

user-name

string is

used as the user-name for the session. MSS supports this functionality on
the RADIUS server but not the WX local database. With the release of
MSS and 3WXM Version 7.0, this attribute is now supported as part of
the login session.

The attribute has been added to the following commands:

set user

username attr user-name value

hyphens

12-34-56-78-9a-bc

colons

12:34:56:78:9a:bc

one-hyphen

123456-789abc

raw

123456789abc
