Configuring the RADIUS Server
Summary of the configuration procedure
You must configure your RADIUS server to work with the Management Card.
1. Add the IP address of the Management Card to the RADIUS server client list (file).
2. Users must be configured with Service-Type attributes unless Vendor Specific
Attributes (VSAs) are defined. If no Service-Type attributes are configured, users
will have read-only access (on the Web interface only).
RADIUS Setting Definition
RADIUS Server The server name or IP address of the RADIUS server.
N
OTE: RADIUS servers use port 1812 by default to authenticate users.
To use a different port, add a colon followed by the new port number to
the end of the RADIUS server name or IP address.
Secret The shared secret between the RADIUS server and the Management
Card.
Timeout The time in seconds that the Management Card waits for a response
from the RADIUS server.
Test Settings Enter the Administrator user name and password to test the RADIUS
server path that you have configured.
Skip Test and Apply Do not test the RADIUS server path.
Switch Server
Priority
Change which RADIUS server will authenticate users if two configured
servers are listed and RADIUS, then Local Authentication or
RADIUS Only is the enabled authentication method.
For examples of the RADIUS users file with Vendor Specific Attributes (VSAs)
and an example of an entry in the dictionary file on the RADIUS server, see
the APC Security Handbook.
See your RADIUS server documentation for information about the
RADIUS users file, and see the APC Security Handbook for an example.
