Important Notes for Controllers and Non-Mesh Access Points
This section describes important information about controllers and non-mesh lightweight access points.
One-Time Password (OTP) Support
One Time Passwords (OTP) are supported on the Wireless Lan Controller (WLC) using TACACS and
RADIUS. In this configuration, the controller acts as a transparent pass-thru device. The controller
forwards all client requests to the TACACS/RADIUS server without inspecting the client behavior.
When using OTP the client must only establish a single connection to the controller to function properly.
The controller currently does not have any intelligence or checks to correct a client that is trying to
establish multiple connections.
