(RADIATOR) Radius and Wireless APs

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Jai -

A Wireless AP looks to Radiator the same as any other NAS, therefore 
you will need to configure a <Client ...> clause for each one. You may 
also need to configure additional Handlers or Realms, depending on what 
else you are doing in your configuration file.

When a user moves from one access point to another, there will be a new 
authentication, just like if the user had hung up a modem call and 
dialled again.

You should configure the AP's for radius authentication and then watch 
a trace 4 debug from Radiator to see what is contained in the 
authentication and acounting requests, then configure Radiator 
accordingly.

You should probably read the AP vendors' documentation first of all to 
see what radius support is implemented in the AP software.

There has also been quite a lot of discussion on this topic on the 
mailing list, so you should check teh archive site too.
