However, if local appears first, followed by a RADIUS server group, MSS
overrides any failed searches in the local WX database and sends an
authentication request to the server group.

MSS uses a last-resort authentication rule under the following conditions:

„

The client is not denied access by 802.1X or does not support 802.1X.

„

The client’s MAC address does not match a MAC authentication rule.

„

The fallthru method is last-resort. (For a wireless authentication rule,
the fallthru method is specified by the set service-profile
auth-fallthru
command. For a wired authentication rule, the fallthru
method is specified by the auth-fall-thru option of the set port type
wired-auth
command.)

For wireless access, MSS appends the requested SSID name to the user
name last-resort. For example, if the requested SSID is mycorp, MSS
attempts to authenticate the user last-resort-mycorp. If the RADIUS server
or local database used as the authentication method has the user
last-resort-mycorp, access is granted. Otherwise, access is denied.

If the SSID specified in the last-resort authentication rule is any, MSS
searches for user last-resort-any. The any in the username is not a
wildcard. The username must be last-resort-any, exactly as spelled here.

Examples — The following command configures a last-resort
authentication rule in the local WX database for SSID mycorp:

WX4400# set authentication last-resort ssid mycorp local
success: change accepted.
