ZyXEL Communications 128MH Adding Users to the RADIUS Database, Note to the Key Password Field

Prestige 128MH PSTN Router/Hub

Note to the Key Password Field

The Key password should be stored in the [client] file in the RADIUS server’s [/etc/raddb] directory. Lines of the following form should be added to the [client] file:

# Client Name	Key
#----------------------

The Client Name field in the file gives the IP address of your Prestige router, and the Key field should be the same as the Key field in Menu 23.2.

After a RADIUS server has been configured, your Prestige will use it to authenticate all users that it can not find in its internal Dial-Up User List (see Menu 14)

To add a user to the RADIUS database, edit the [users] file in the RADIUS server’s [/etc/raddb] directory, and add a line similar to the following:

joeuser Password = “joepassword”

Similarly, each user should have a user name/password record in the [users] database.

To use RADIUS for CLID authentication, create a user record in the [users] file , where the user name (the first field) is the telephone number, and the password (the second field) is always [Zyxel-CLID] (case-sensitive). The regular user name is put in a User-Name field. The
