RADIUS
The Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) configuration allows you to set up and maintain the
settings required to enable RADIUS support.
Enabling or disabling RADIUS support:
Select Enabled or Disabled from the RADIUS drop-down menu and click Apply.
Configuring the authentication order:
Select Remote > Local or Remote Only from the drop-down menu and click Apply.
NOTE: Server Technology recommends not setting the authentication order to Remote Only until the RADIUS has been fully configured
and tested.
Changing the RADIUS server address:
Enter the IP address or hostname in the Primary and/or Secondary Server field and click Apply.
NOTE: Both IPv4 and IPv6 formats are accepted in the Primary/Secondary Host fields.
Setting the RADIUS shared secret:
The shared secret is the RADIUS authentication key.
Enter the shared secret in the Primary and Secondary Shared Secret field. Up to 48 upper and lowercase alphanumeric
and other typed characters (ASCII 33 to 126 decimal) and spaces are allowed; control characters are not allowed.
Press Apply.
To change the shared secret, check the Change checkbox to clear the Shared Secret field, enter the new shared secret,
and click Apply.
Changing the RADIUS server port:
This field specifies the port number used by the RADIUS server for incoming RADIUS authentication requests.
Enter the port number in the Primary and/or Secondary Port field and click Apply.
The valid port number range is 1-65535; default is 1812.
Setting the RADIUS server timeout value:
The Timeout field specifies the time interval (in seconds) to wait for a reply from the RADIUS server before
resending an authentication request.
Type the timeout value (in seconds) in the Primary and/or Secondary Timeout field and click Apply.
The valid timeout range is 1-30 seconds; default is 5 seconds.
Setting the number of RADIUS server retries:
The Set RADIUS Retries command specifies the number of times an authentication request is sent to the RADIUS
server. The PDU attempts authentication with the primary server until the number of retries is reached, then will
attempt authentication with the secondary server. If the PDU does not receive a response from these attempts, the
authentication request will be rejected.
Setting the number of retries:
Type the number of retries in the Primary and/or Secondary Retries field and click Apply.
The valid retries range is 0-10; default is 2.
