How to Configure Web-Based Authentication
Configuring Switch-to-RADIUS-Server Communication Configuring the HTTP Server
Command Purpose
Step 1 ip radius source-interface interface_name Specifies that the RADIUS packets have the IP address of
the indicated interface.
Step 2 radius-server host {hostname | ip-address} test
username username
Specifies the host name or IP address of the remote
RADIUS server.
The test username username option enables automated
testing of the RADIUS server connection. The specified
username does not need to be a valid user name.
The key option specifies an authentication and encryption
key to use between the switch and the RADIUS server.
To use multiple RADIUS servers, reenter this command
for each server.
Step 3 radius-server key string Configures the authorization and encryption key used
between the switch and the RADIUS daemon running on
the RADIUS server.
Step 4 radius-server vsa send authentication Enables downloading of an ACL from the RADIUS
server. This feature is supported in
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(50)SG.
Step 5 radius-server dead-criteria tries num-tries Specifies the number of unanswered sent messages to a
RADIUS server before considering the server to be
inactive. The range of num-tries is 1 to 100.
Command Purpose
Step 1 ip http server Enables the HTTP server. The web-based authentication feature uses the HTTP server
to communicate with the hosts for user authentication.
Step 2 ip http secure-server Enables HTTPS.
