Programatically provision users to server.

[Matthew Carriere]

Ok this has been very helpful.
So I just want to make sure I am headed down the right path. I have a WLAN
controller that will be configured to use RADIUS for authentication.
Currently it (WLAN) uses its own user accounts on the controller. Does this
mean that the WLAN will deliver an IP after the RADIUS has authenticated the
user? How does a user authenticate to the RADIUS server?

Basically I need to automate the current manual task of creating the user
accounts on the WLAN.
