RADIUS Server Configuration Settings
You can also leverage the RADIUS authentication for user access bypassing the local
authentication provided by Firewall Analyzer.
In the RADIUS server authentication the users credentials are sent to the RADIUS
server. The server checks for the user credentials and sends the authentication
successful message to Firewall Analyzer server.
Note: If the user has only RADIUS server authentication, create the user in Firewall
Analyzer with dummy password. On user logging in with RADIUS server
authentication, the dummy password in the local server is ignored and the user
credentials are sent to RADIUS server for authentication. Refer the procedure given
in the Adding Users document to add a new user with dummy password.
You can make Firewall Analyzer work with RADIUS server in your environment. This
section explains the configurations involved in integrating RADIUS server with Firewall
Analyzer.
