WLC 9800 OEAP AP Authentication Options

aburrows · ‎02-03-2023

Trying to do AP authenticaiton only for OEAP APs. Hence OEAPs will be primed locally, then moved to an OEAP Site Tag with their own policies. Ideally I would like to use AP credentials to authenticate back to the WLC 9800 with local authenticion on the WLC 9800. I can find options for LSC, MAC, and Serial numbers. Does anyone know if this is possible to do username/password authenticaiton from the AP only for OEAP APs?

- I don't see how the authentication of an AP can be based on username , because it is a 'fabric component' , hence the given methods ,

I noticed you can use the 802.1X supplimants for a switch authorization. Was hoping that it could be used against the WLC 9800 for AP authorization. Looks like it is what it is for now. Probably going to go with serial number for now. THanks, Alex.
