The LMT for AP

The Access Point Local Maintenance Terminal is a web based application which provides an interface for a user to perform a set of configuration, management, and debugging activities on the Access Point.

LMT users can be authenticated in one of two ways. AAA authentication is the default and is recommended due to its central and more secure storage of passwords. All accounts created using bootstrapping or the LMT GUI, use AAA authentication. Users in this class are denied access to LMT if AAA authentication is not successful. LMT also permits local authentication of the emergency admin user created during site commissioning (ap admin by default) to support the case where a AAA is not available.
