Authentication

The UPAM Authentication application is used to monitor and configure authentication for wired and wireless devices.

The following screens are used to monitor and configure the Authentication application:

• Summary - Provides an overview of authentication activity for the network.
• Workflow -  Authentication application workflows provide system-defined workflows that can be used to create wired or wireless service for both employees and guest users
• NAS Clients -  Used to configure NAS Clients. A client connects to the NAS, and the NAS then connects to a AAA Server to determine whether or not the client’s supplied credentials are valid
• Access Policy -  Used to configure Authentication Access Policies. Authentication Access Policies are used to define the mapping conditions for an  authentication strategy.
• Authentication Strategy - Authentication Strategy is used to set up a user profile source and login method (web page or not) for authentication, as well as the network attributes applied after passing the authentication.
• Role Mapping for LDAP - Authentication Role Mapping enables you to assign different Access Role Profiles and Policy Lists to different sub-user groups by creating mapping rules based on user attributes.
• Employee Account - Used to create login accounts for employee users in the local UPAM Database.
• Company Property - Used to create a Company Property List containing information on devices owned by a company and assigned to an employee (e.g., printers, IP phones, laptops, tablets).
• Switch User Account - Used to configure user Authenticated Switch Access through UPAM.
• Authentication Record -  Displays authentication information for all devices authenticated through UPAM.
• Captive Portal Access Record - Displays captive portal information for all devices authenticated through UPAM.
• Switch Access Record - Displays information about user authentication access to network switches.
