Managing User Accounts - D-Link AirPremier DWL-2210AP Manual

Managing User Accounts

The D-Link DWL-2210AP includes user management capabilities for controlling client
access to access points.
User management and authentication must always be used in conjunction with
the following two security modes, which require use of a
authentication and management.
• IEEE 802.1x mode (see "IEEE 802.1x" in the Configuring Security section)
• WPA with RADIUS mode (see "WPA with RADIUS" in the Configuring Security
section)
You have the option of using either the internal RADIUS server embedded in the D-Link
DWL-2210AP or an external RADIUS server that you provide. If you use the embedded
RADIUS server, use this Administration Web page on the access point to set up and
manage user accounts. If you are using an external RADIUS server, you will need to set
up and manage user accounts on the Administrative interface for that server.
On the User Management page, you can create, edit, remove, and view client user
accounts. Each user account consists of a user name and password. The set of users
specified here represent approved clients that can log in and use one or more access
points to access local and possibly external networks via your wireless network.
Users specified here are clients of the access point(s) who use the APs as a connectivity hub,
not administrators of the wireless network. Only those with the administrator username and
password and knowledge of the administration URL can log in as an administrator and view
or modify configuration settings.
The following topics are covered:
• Navigating to User Management for Clustered Access Points
• Viewing User Accounts
• Adding a User
