What service must be implemented on your customer's network to authenticate users against an LDAP database before granting access to the WLAN infrastructure?
To authenticate users against an LDAP database for WLAN access, a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server must be implemented. RADIUS acts as an intermediary between the WLAN infrastructure and the LDAP directory, facilitating authentication requests. When a user attempts to connect to the WLAN, the access point forwards the authentication request to the RADIUS server, which then queries the LDAP directory to verify the user's credentials. This integration ensures centralized authentication and enhances security by leveraging existing directory services.
