Configuring a RADIUS authentication server
By selecting the Config - Authentication menu option and selecting RADIUS from the
Authentication Type pull
-down menu, the administrative user can configure a RADIUS
authentication server. Configure a RADIUS authentication server when the SP manager or any of
the target devices is configured to use the RADIUS authentication method or any of its variations
(Local/Radius, Radius/Local or Radius Down/Local).
The administrative user must obtain the needed information about the RADIUS server from the
server’s administrator:
• First Authentication Server
• Second Authentication Server
• First Accounting Server
• Second Accounting Server
• Secret
• Timeout(s)
• Retries
Work with the RADIUS server’s administrator to ensure that following types of accounts are set up
on the RADIUS server and that the administrators of the SP manager and target devices know the
passwords assigned to the accounts:
• An account for admin or other administrative user.
• If RADIUS authentication is specified for the appliance, accounts for all users who need to log
into the SP manager.
• If RADIUS authentication is specified for devices, accounts for users who need access to the
target devices.
See Configuring group authorization for RADIUS authentication on page 136 for how to manually
configure group authorizations with RADIUS authentication.
To configure a RADIUS authentication server:
1. Select the Config
- Authentication menu option.
