Configuring the External RADIUS Server FreeRADIUS Server Configuration Example FreeRADIUS is an open source RADIUS server that you can download free from http://www.freeradius.org. The example in this section describes the files you need to configure in order to authenticate the D-Link Unified Switch and the D-Link Access Point with the RADIUS server and to configure the Valid AP settings in the RADIUS database. Configuring RADIUS Clients If you require the D-Link Unified Switch or D-Link Access Points to authenticate themselves with the RADIUS server, you must configure client entries for the devices in the RADIUS server's etc/raddb/clients.conf file. The entry contains the IP address of the client, the shared secret, and a nickname (or DNS name) for the device. The following entry in the clients.conf file is for a switch with the following information: • IP address: 192.168.30.249 • Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 • Shared secret: wireless • DNS name: wireless-sw1 The following code shows the format of the client entry in the clients.conf file: client 192.168.30.249/24 { secret = wireless shortname = wireless-sw1 } Creating and Including an Attribute Dictionary You configure attributes in an attribute dictionary so that you can assign the attributes and values to an access point when you configure it in the Valid AP database on the RADIUS server. For example, to assign a location to an access point, the attribute you define has the following format: ATTRIBUTE D-Link-Wireless-AP-Location 101 string D-Link The fields in the attribute are as follows: • Attribute-type of entry • D-Link-Wireless-AP-Location-name of the attribute • 101-ID number assigned to the attribute; you must use this number when you configure the location attribute • string-type of data for the attribute • D-Link-vendor-specific name for the attribute The following VALUE field defines one of the values you can assign to an AP for the AP Mode. VALUE D-Link-Wireless-AP-Mode WS-Managed 1 The VALUE fields are as follows: • VALUE-type of entry FreeRADIUS Server Configuration Example 207
