Login Smartzone Web GUI using Account from Azure

[a_ridwan9]

Hello Ruckus Team,

Currently in my company, we are using LDAP on premise for authenticate administrator access to our Virtual Smartzone Web GUI.

Instead of that, our company are on progressing to migrate all administrator access using Microsoft Account from Azure. How can we setup to make authentication to access vSZ Web GUI using our Microsoft Account in Azure, instead of LDAP account? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Azure AD is like any other AAA server (AD, TACACS+, Radius or LDAP), so you can configure it straight forward in SZ/vSZ.

in Administration > Administration > Admin and Roles > AAA.

Here are the high-level steps to configure AAA authentication on the vSZ:

1. Configure the server settings on the AD Azure service, and allow the access from the SZ/vSZ.
2. Configure the AAA server settings on the vSZ (Administration > Administration > Admin and Roles > AAA)
3. Create an user group on the vSZ and add the AD Azure users (Administration > Administration > Admin and Roles > Groups). Follow the instructions from the pop up to customize the rights.

Once you have completed these steps, you should be able to use AD Azure credentials to authenticate admin users on the vSZ.

Please find below link for SZ Administrator Guide where you can check more details about Working with AAA  Servers > Admins and Roles (Page 53):
