RuggedCom RX1000, RX1100 manual Radius Authentication Configuration, Edit Radius Server Parameters

RuggedRouter™ User Guide

Some users set the rrsetup and root account passwords to difficult to guess strings that are unique to each router, then employ a common password for all routers in radius. The router specific strings are restricted to a very few personnel. A larger set of expert users are granted the rights to SSH login using the radius root account passwords. Yet another set of users are granted access via Webmin user accounts.

Radius authentication is logged to the authorization log (file auth.log). Details of each authentication including time of occurrence, source and result are included.
