How RADIUS Works

Here is how authentication works when PortServer TS 8/16 is configured for RADIUS:

1.A user logs into PortServer TS 8/16.

2.PortServer TS 8/16 collects login information and then checks to see if the user is in the local database of users.

3.If the user is in the local database, PortServer TS 8/16 handles authentication.

4.If the user is not in the local database, PortServer TS 8/16 submits an authentication request to the RADIUS server.

5.The RADUIS server does one of the following:

If the user is validated, it passes this information to other devices and the user is permitted access.

If the user is not validated, the RADIUS server returns an access reject message to PortS- erver TS 8/16, which then denies access to the user.

Configuring RADIUS: Web Interface

Use this section for information on configuring PortServer TS 8/16 as a RADIUS client from the web interface.

1.Access the web interface by entering the PortServer TS 8/16 IP address in a browser’s URL win- dow.

2.Log in to the PortServer TS 8/16 as root. The default password is dbps.

3.From the main menu, choose Configure > RADUIS.

4.Configure the RADIUS client as required. Use the online help for information on configuration fields.

5.When you complete configuration, choose Submit.
