ZyXEL Communications 128MH user manual Adding Users to the RADIUS Database, The Key Field

Prestige 128MH PSTN Router/Hub

The Key Field

The “key”, or password, must match that in the client file in the RADIUS server’s /etc/raddb directory, as shown in the following example:

#	Client Name	Key
#	-------------------------
192.168.1.1		1234

After you configure a RADIUS server, your Prestige will use it to authenticate all users that it can not find in its internal dial-up user list (see Menu 14)

11.2.3 Adding Users to the RADIUS Database

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”

11.2.4 Using RADIUS Authentication for CLID

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 following is an example of a CLID user record:

5551212 Password = “Zyxel-CLID” User-Name = ”joeuser” Zyxel-Callback-Option = Mandatory Zyxel-Callback-Phone-Source = Preconfigured Dialback-No = “5551212”

Note that if CLID is turned off in your Prestige, you need to have a separate user record for joeuser so the regular user name/password mechanism still works.
