Configuring Authentication
Along with the authentication results, you can obtain the user’s group affiliation from the
authentication process. The returned group information will be used to match the user to an
Identity Profile in the Rights Assignment table. This assumes you have created Identity Profiles
that match the groups that may be returned from the authentication process.
Step 5. The information required to configure the RADIUS service for 802.1x authentication is defined in
Table 5-6 as follows:
Table 5-6. RADIUS Configuration For 802.1x Authentication
Field/Option Description
RADIUS Port The port number for the RADIUS server. The default port number is 1812.
RADIUS Secret The shared secret that allows access to the RADIUS server.
This must match exactly the secret configured on your RADIUS server.
Confirm RADIUS Secret The shared secret, entered a second time to confirm.
Group Identity Field (Optional). The name of the attribute in the database that contains the user‘s
group membership information. The returned group information is used to
determine the Identity Profile that this user matches.
If you use this option, the attribute name you enter must match a valid
attribute that exists on the RADIUS server.
Step 6. Click Save when you have finished.
Configuring a Kerberos Authentication Service
To configure a Kerberos service, do the following:
Step 1. Click the Rights button in the Navigation bar, then go to the Authentication Policies tab.
Step 2. Click the Authentication Services link in the left panel to go to the Authentication Services page.
Step 3. On the Authentication Services page, click New Service... button.
Step 4. Click the Kerberos link in the left panel of the page.
The New Authentication Service - Kerberos page appears (see Figure 5-6).
The Edit Authentication Service - Kerberos page is almost identical to the New Authentication
Service - Kerberos page, except that the page and settings are displayed for the Authentication
Service you have selected. Also, a
Save As Copy button is provided.
