Install and configure the RADIUS authentication server. For example, to add the group as a RADIUS client on a Microsoft Windows server, you must specify the following items: • Name (also called Friendly Name) for the client. Dell recommends using the group name. • Group IP address (also called Client address) or dedicated management network IP address. • Vendor Name attribute. Select RADIUS Standard. • Password (also called Shared Secret) of up to 63 ASCII characters. This password should also be entered in Group Manager when you configure the group to use the RADIUS authentication server. NOTE: Though using a password is not required, Dell recommends that you use one for increased security. 2. For iSCSI CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) accounts, add each configured network interface on all the group members as a RADIUS client. Specify the network interface IP address and, optionally, a password (or secret), up to 63 ASCII characters. If you specify a password, enter this password when you configure the group to use the RADIUS authentication server. Dell recommends that you use a password for increased security. 3. For administration accounts, set up the attributes that allow the server to authorize accounts as group administrator, pool administrator, or read-only accounts. 4. Set up the accounts. You can set up accounts on the RADIUS server or a different resource, such as Active Directory. The RADIUS server verifies login credentials (account name and password) that the user supplies against these accounts. The RADIUS server must be accessible to all the group members. Configure a RADIUS Server When configuring a RADIUS server in a pure IPv6 environment, you must: • Specify, on the RADIUS server, a RADIUS client for every IPv6 IP as an entry for the Microsoft Windows server. • Enable access for the RADIUS user.
