A RADIUS and TACACS+ Appendix A

Introduction

This chapter describes the parameters that can be passed to the IOLAN when a user logs into the IOLAN (serial port set to profile Terminal) from external authentication RADIUS and TACACS+ servers.

RADIUS

Although RADIUS can be used strictly for external authentication, it can also be used to configure line and user parameters. Therefore, when a user is being authenticated using RADIUS, it is possible that the user’s configuration is a compilation of the parameters passed back from RADIUS, the IOLAN parameters if the user has also been set up as a local user in the IOLAN, and the Default User’s parameters for any parameters that have not been set by either RADIUS or the user’s local configuration.

Supported RADIUS Parameters

This section describes the attributes which will be accepted by the IOLAN from a RADIUS server in response to an authentication request.
