Administrator Authenticated by:

• Default Authentication (Global Password)
• Local List Only (Individual Passwords)
• Authentication Server Only
• Authentication Server if not found in Local List

You are required to define at least one Admin Authentication server Server Manager window if you select either Authentication Server Only or Authentication Server if not found in Local List.

If you choose Local List Only or Authentication Server if not found in Local List, you must first go to the Local User List section on the bottom of the window, enter the user information, and click Apply to add each entry. If you don't proceed in this order, you cannot access the access point as one of the users.

Default Authentication (Global Password)

Default Authentication Password

If you chose Default Authentication in the Administrator Authenticated by field above, you must determine the authentication password to use as the default. Using this authentication, the username is skipped, and only a password is entered. The Default Authentication Password is the same as the Enable password in Cisco IOS software.

Note: When you enter a password, the following six characters are not allowed: ?, ", $, [, and +.

Confirm Authentication Password

Re-enter this default password for confirmation.

User List

Any assigned users are displayed in the Local User List.
