Service - RADIUS page, except that the page and settings are displayed for the Authentication
Service you have selected. Also, a
Save As Copy button is provided.

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.
