52 3: RADIUS Migration
RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 to 8.1 Migration Guide
Add Custom RADIUS Dictionary Attributes to Version 8.1
If the version 6.1 deployment uses a RADIUS dictionary with custom attributes, you
must add these attributes to the version 8.1 RADIUS dictionary before importing the
RADIUS data.
Important: If you do not add the custom attributes to the version 8.1 RADIUS
dictionary before importing the RADIUS data, you must re-migrate the RADIUS data
from the same package file after adding the attributes.
There are two options for adding the custom attributes from version 6.1 into version
8.1:
• Edit the Version 8.1 RADIUS Dictionary
to include the custom attributes from the
version 6.1 RADIUS dictionary
• Add a Custom RADIUS Dictionary to the 8.1 Deployment
Edit the Version 8.1 RADIUS Dictionary
You can manually edit the version 8.1 RADIUS dictionary to use the custom attributes
from the version 6.1. You edit the RADIUS dictionary files in the Operations Console.
Edits apply only to the RADIUS server on which you make the changes.
Important: Be cautious when editing the configuration files. The changes that you
make are not validated, and the existing file is overwritten with the new content. For a
detailed explanation of the syntax used in the configuration files, see the
RSA Authentication Manager 8.1 RADIUS Reference Guide.
