6.8.5 Configuring Radius Users
Refer to the Users tab to view the current set of users and groups assigned for the Radius server. The Users
tab is employed when Local is selected as the Auth Data Source within the Authentication & Accounting
tab. The user information is ignored if an LDAP server is used for authentication.
To define the Radius user permissions for switch access:
1. Select Security > Radius Server from the main menu.
2. Select the Users tab.
3. Refer to the following to assess whether an existing user can be used with the local Radius server as is,
requires modification or if a new user is required.
4. Refer to the Available Groups field to view the memberships for existing users.
If the group assignment is insufficient, use the Edit or Add functions to modify/create users or modify
their existing group assignments. For guest users, only the password is editable. For normal (non-guest)
users, the password and group association can be modified.
To modify the attributes of an existing user, select the user from the list and click the Edit button.
User ID Displays the username for this specific user. The name assigned should reflect the
user’s identity and perhaps their status within the switch managed network (guest
versus secure user).
Guest User Displays whether a specific user has been defined as a guest user (with a green
check) or has been configured as permanent user. Guest users have temporary
access.
Group Name Lists the group name that was assigned to the Radius User ID and Group.
Start Date Defines the time when Guest User’s privileges commence.
Expiry Date If the user has been assigned guest privileges, they were also assigned a date
when their Radius privileges expire.
