RADIUS/ACE Services

(VPNos 3.x and VPNos 4.31 only)

Note:

If a RADIUS server is used, the name assigned to a VPNremote Client must be identical to the one used in the RADIUS server.

A popular tool for managing authentication and accounting for remote access has been Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS). Use the Policy Manager for RADIUS/ACE if you want to use one or more RADIUS servers to authenticate remote users. A security gateway can query up to three RADIUS servers, where two of the servers is recognized as backups.

Note:

The security gateway must authenticate itself to the RADIUS server with a “shared secret” before they can exchangeinformation. Therefore, the RADIUS server must be configured with a shared secret for the security gateway.
