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 RADIUS server for user 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 • Editing a User Account • Enabling and Disabling User Accounts • Removing a User Account 43
