Description: The document describes how to connect a WLAN client to a network operating the 802.1X protocol.Access credentials are checked against the RADIUS server of a Windows 2008 R2 NPS server. Requirements: - The LANCOM access point has a default configuration that connects it to the local network. It can be reached with LANconfig.
- A functional installed Windows Active Directory and a Windows CA (certificate server).
Scenario: The WLAN client establishes a connection to the access point. In this case, authentication does not use a password set on the access point and the WLAN client. Instead, a session is set up to a downstream central RADIUS server running on a Windows NPS server.The server checks the access credentials (name and password) on a central database. This method allows the RADIUS server to operate as a central login service for large numbers of access points.- The RADIUS server is a Windows 2008 R2 NPS server. In this example configuration, the NPS server has the local IP address 192.168.10.1.
- The authenticator is an access point of the type LANCOM L-452agn dual Wireless with the local IP address 192.168.10.100.
- The supplicant is a notebook with the Windows operating system.
