Configuring a RADIUS server on UNIX®, with shadow passwords

If UNIX shadow password files are used (/etc/passwd) in conjunction with the RADIUS dictionary files, the following two methods can be used to authenticate users:

If all UNIX users have administrative privileges, add the following to the RADIUS “user” file.

DEFAULTAuth-Type = System APC-Service-Type = Admin

To allow only Device Users, change the value for APC-Service-Type to Device.

Add user names and attributes to the RADIUS “user” file and verify passwords against /etc/ passwd. The following example is for users bconners and thawk:

bconnersAuth-Type = System APC-Service-Type = Admin thawkAuth-Type = System APC-Service-Type = Device

Supported RADIUS servers

APC supports FreeRADIUS, Microsoft IAS 2003. Other commonly available RADIUS applications may work but have not been fully tested by APC.

Inactivity Timeout

Use the Auto Log Off option to configure the time that the system waits before logging off an inactive user. Th default setting is 3 minutes. The maximum time setting is 10 minutes.
