RADIUS:
The RADIUS server requires the IP address, the
UDP port number (1812 - default or 1645) and
the shared secret. Theshared se cret isused to
encrypt communications an d corresponds to a
shared password for the RADIUS server and the
client machine. Two additional servers may be
defined for backup purposes. Each server will be
tried in order, using the indicated number of
retries and timeout period, which are
configurable on the same page.
Remember to enable RADIUS after configuring it. W hile RADIUS authentication is
enabled, the locally defined accounts on the Ser verRemote Control unit will not be used,
except for theSSH login.However, ifa username of the form “name.local” is given at the
RADIUS prompt, the system will use “na me”; check the password locally, and skip
RADIUS authentication. Delete all local acc ounts to avoid this behavior. W hen
connecting via VNC, a login screen is gene rated that asks for a RADIUS username and
password.
