Black Box Console Server user guide 95
About user accounts and RADIUS
Overview
You can have a maximum of 32 user accounts on the Console Server. You will also be
able to configure user accounts on the RADIUS host. Therefore some users can be
authenticated by the unit, other users by RADIUS. You could have other combinations
of maintaining user accounts; i.e. duplicated on both the unit and the RADIUS host or,
alternatively all user accounts stored on the RADIUS host only.
Caution when a user is authenticated by RADIUS the unit starts a user service - such as telnet
or SLIP - based on instructions passed down by the RADIUS host. User parameters -
such as ‘service’ or ‘ip_host’ are taken entirely from the RADIUS host.

Caution If you set the port to authenticate by RADIUS only, users will not be able to dial in and
connect if the network connection is down (no access to RADIUS server).
