Configuring a Proxy Radius Server

The access point has the capability to proxy authentication requests to a remote Radius server
based on the suffix of the user ID (such as myisp.com or company.com). The access point supports
up to 10 proxy servers.

CAUTION

If using a proxy server for Radius authentication, the Data Source field within the Radius server
screen must be set to Local. If set to LDAP, the proxy server will not be successful when
performing the authentication. To verify the existing settings, see Configuring the Radius Server
on page 6-241
.

CAUTION

When configuring the credentials of an MU, ensure its login (or user) name is a Fully Qualified
Domain Name
(FQDN), or it cannot be authenticated by the access point’s proxy server. For
example; [email protected].

To configure the proxy Radius server for the Mobility 7131 Access Point:

1. Select System Configuration -> User Authentication -> RADIUS Server -> Proxy from the menu

tree.

Group Attribute
