Configuring the RADIUS Server
You must configure your RADIUS server to work with the cooling unit. The following procedure
summarizes the steps to perform.
Summary of the configuration procedure
1. Add the IP address of the cooling unit to the RADIUS server client list (file).
2. The users must be configured with Service-Type attributes unless Vendor Specific Attributes
(VSAs) are defined instead. If no Service-Type attribute is configured, the user will have read-
only access (to the Web interface only).
3. VSAs can be used instead of the Service-Type attributes provided by your RADIUS server. This
method requires a dictionary entry and a RADIUS users file. In the dictionary file, you can define
the names for the ATTRIBUTE and VALUE keywords, but not the numeric values. If you change
the numeric values, RADIUS authentication and authorization will not work correctly. VSAs take
precedence over standard RADIUS attributes.
For examples of the file entries needed to configure a RADIUS server for use with a cooling
unit, see the Security Handbook, available on the Utility CD or from the APC Web site,
www.apc.com.
Note: RADIUS servers use port 1812 by default to authenticate users. To use a
different port, add a colon followed by the new port number to the end of the
RADIUS server name or IP address.
See your RADIUS server documentation for information about the RADIUS users
file, and see the APC Security Handbook for an example.
For examples of the RADIUS users file with VSAs and an example of an entry in
the dictionary file on the RADIUS server, see the APC Security Handbook.
