no it is not mandatory.
when you are troubleshooting connectivity, all you want to know is if the Radius packets are reaching clerarpass.
with the test aaa command, you can see the request in access tracker, that shows there is connectivity and radius secret key is correct, irrespective of whether the auth is successful or not

no the password is not configured by default in ClearPass.
basically the aim of this command is to test Radius auth connectivity to the radius server.
for sure you can add a your test user creds to the local db in ClearPass

Hi All,
While verifying AAA server test in controller, I didn't configure this password in controller. Is the password is already configured in clear pass server and I'm using the same password while connecting WLAN client. how these password concept works between controller, clear pass server and client?
