Device management

The Users file variable parameters are:

<Client_name> – The name of the Client as entered in VPNmanager. Case and spelling are significant. This parameter is written by VPNmanager.

<authentication password> – The response required from the Client to the authentication challenge sent through the security gateway by the RADIUS server. Case and spelling are significant. This field must be entered by the system administrator.

<VPN-specific algorithm and key information> – Information specific to the VPNs for which the Client is a member. There may be one or more of these entries. These parameters are written by VPNmanager.

Note:

The export RADIUS Users file created by VPNmanager contains no entries in the authentication password field. Consequently, after creating the file, you must edit it to add the authentication password field to each Client. Additionally, the security of cryptographic keys used to secure VPNs are not compromised during the VPNmanager-to-RADIUS transfer. All VPN keys are encrypted with Triple DES encryption (56-bit DES encryption for the DES only version of VPNmanager).

This completes the process for configuring RADIUS support. If any Clients are rekeyed, they must be re-exported to the RADIUS server to reflect the new key.

Note:

Telnet sends traffic, including the login password in the clear. Remember to disable telnet after you use it.
