VALIDATING ADMINISTRATOR LOGINS USING A RADIUS SERVER
You can use a RADIUS server to authenticate logins to the management tool. One advantage of this is that it
enables you to create several administrator accounts, each with its own username and password.
To setup RADIUS authentication, do the following:
1. On the main menu, click Security then click RADIUS. The Radius profiles page opens.
2. Click Add New Profile. The Add Radius profiles page opens.
3. Define the settings for the RADIUS profile you want to use to validate administrator logins. Either use an
existing profile or add a new one.
4. Click Save.
5. On the main menu, click Management. The Management tool configuration page opens.
6. In the Administrator authentication box, select the RADIUS server you defined in Step 2.
7. Click Save.

IMPORTANT
Make sure that the RADIUS profile you select is configured and that the administrator account is
defined on a functioning RADIUS server. If not, you will not be able to log back into the LPS-20x
because the administrator password cannot be authenticated.
