How-To: Enable RADIUS Authentication in WPA-Enterprise

RADIUS is a networking protocol that provides centralized Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) management for users who connect and use a network service. This guide will show you how to enable RADIUS authentication in WPA-Enterprise.

Introduction - How RADIUS Authentication Works

RADIUS is a networking protocol that provides centralized Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) management for users who connect and use a network service. It is used to manage access to the network and resources. RADIUS is commonly used in wireless networks to authenticate users who connect to the network using WPA-Enterprise. This allows you to enable any enterprise network to connect to modern authentication methods like Entra ID (Azure AD) simplifying the user experience and increasing security. In this guide, we will show you how to enable RADIUS authentication with different network gear providers.

Overview of RADIUS Authentication with EZRADIUS

How to Enable RADIUS Authentication in WPA-Enterprise In Your Network

EZRADIUS uses industry-standard RADIUS protocols, which means it is compatible with nearly all network controllers that support RADIUS authentication. While you can follow the specific guide for your network controller and add the EZRADIUS server details, we have created a set of vendor-specific guides for the most popular hardware.
