RADIUS Client Configuration
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service, RFC 2865) is a protocol for managing
Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) of multiple users in a network. A RADIUS
server will store a database of user information, and can validate a user at the request of a gateway
or server in the network when a user requests access to network resources. During the
establishment of a VPN connection, the VPN gateway can interrupt the process with an XAUTH
(eXtended AUTHentication) request. At that point, the remote user must provide authentication
information such as a username/password or some encrypted response using his username/
password information. The gateway will try and verify this information first against a local User
Database (if RADIUS-PAP is enabled) and then by relaying the information to a central
authentication server such as a RADIUS server.
To configure the Primary RADIUS Server:
1.
Select
VPN
from the main menu,
VPN Client
from the submenu and then select the
RADIUS
Client
tab. The
RADIUS Client
screen will display.
