Radius
For authentication to work, the client’s transmission must go through GlobeSurfer
®
II, and reach the back-end server that
performs the actual authentication. The wireless client contacts the access point, which in turn communicates with the Remote
Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) server. The RADIUS server verifies the client’s credentials to determine whether
the device is authorized to connect to the LAN. If the RADIUS server accepts the client, the server responds by exchanging
data with GlobeSurfer
®
II, including security keys for subsequent encrypted sessions.
