Configuring RADIUS authentication
This task is only performed when the PTP 800 link requires RADIUS authentication.
RADIUS authentication is only available when PTP 800 is configured for Identity-based
User Accounts and when RADIUS servers are connected to the network.
Only users with ‘Security Officer’ role are permitted to configure RADIUS authentication.
When RADIUS is enabled, the Security Officer may disable all local user accounts, as
described in Creating or updating identity-based users on page 6-47.
At least one user with Security Officer privileges must exist and be enabled, in order to
disable the RADIUS client.
To configure RADIUS, select menu option Management, Web, Radius Config. The
RADIUS Authentication page is displayed (Figure 135). Update the attributes as required
(Table 230). Select Submit RADIUS Configuration.
