Using Windows Active Directory For Account Authentication to PS Series Groups 3
Figure 1: New RADIUS Client
Enter the following information:
 In the Friendly name field, enter a name for the client. We suggest using the PS
Series group name.
 In the Client address field, enter the PS Series group IP address. (Verifying the
address is optional.)In the Vendor name drop-down list, select RADIUS
Standard, if not already selected.
 Check the Manual option if not checked already and enter and confirm a
Shared secret (password). Remember or make a note of the secret, as you will
need to specify the same secret (password) in a later step on the PS Series
group.
 Select or deselect the checkbox next to Request must contain the Message
Authenticator attribute, as you prefer. PS Series arrays support this attribute,
but whether you require it depends on your security policies.
 Click Finish.
Configuring the PS Series Group for RADIUS Login Attempts
The PS Series group must be configured to accept login attempts from the RADIUS
server. This will allow your administrators to connect to the PS Series SAN (or SANs).
You can use either the Group Manager GUI or the CLI to configure the group. See
Appendix B for instruction on using the command line interface.
