Prestige 1600 Universal Access Concentrator

Figure 12-3 RADIUS Authentication Example

12.3.2 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 .

12.3.3 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”

The users file contains an entry for each user that RADIUS will authenticate. The user profile contains user name and password that the RADIUS server uses for authentication.

Check Menu 6 to make sure that you do not duplicate user names.

12.3.4 RADIUS Server Configuration

To configure the RADIUS server, select option 23, System Security, from the Main Menu to open Menu 23 - System Security. Select option 2, External Server from this menu to open Menu 23.2 - System Security - External Server, shown next.
