Configuring an External RADIUS Server to Recognize
the D-Link DWL-2210AP
An external Remote Authentication Dial-in User Server (RADIUS) server running on the
network can support of EAP-TLS smart card/certificate distribution to clients in a Public
Key Infrastructure (PKI) as well as EAP-PEAP user account setup and authentication.
By external RADIUS server, we mean an authentication server external to the access
point itself. This is to distinguish between the scenario in which you use a network
RADIUS server versus one in which you use the Built-in Authentication Server on the
D-Link DWL-2210AP.
This section provides an example of configuring an external RADIUS server for the
purposes of authenticating and authorizing TLS-EAP certificates from wireless clients of
a particular D-Link DWL-2210AP configured for either “WPA with RADIUS” or “IEEE
802.1x” security modes. The intention of this section is to provide some idea of what this
process will look like; procedures will vary depending on the RADIUS server you use and
how you configure it. For this example, we use the Internet Authentication Service that
comes with Microsoft Windows 2003 server.
The purpose of this procedure is to identify your D-Link DWL-2210AP as a “client” to the
RADIUS server. The RADIUS server can then handle authentication and authorization of
wireless clients for the AP. This procedure is required per access point. If you have more
than one access point with which you plan to use an external RADIUS server, you need
to follow these steps for each of those APs.
Keep in mind that the information you need to provide to the RADIUS server about the
access point corresponds to settings on the access point (Advanced > Security) and
vice versa. You should have already provided the RADIUS server IP Address to the AP; in
the steps that follow you will provide the access point address to the RADIUS server.
The RADIUS Key provided on the AP is the “shared secret” you will provide to the
RADIUS server.
Appendix A: Configuring Security Settings on Wireless Clients
This document does not describe how to set up Administrative users on the RADIUS
server. In this example, we assume you already have RADIUS server user accounts
configured. You will need a RADIUS server user name and password for both this
procedure and the following one that describes how to obtain and install a certificate
on the wireless client. Please consult the documentation for your RADIUS server for
information on setting up user accounts.
