Use RADIUS Server
RADIUS servers allow external authentication of users by means of a remote authentica-
tion database. The remote authentication database is maintained by a Remote Authentica-
tion Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server. In conjunction with Wireless User Authentication,
you can use a RADIUS server database to authenticate users seeking access to the wire-
less services, as well as the authorized user list maintained locally within the Gateway.
If you click the
RADIUS
link, the screen expands to allow you to enter your RADIUS server
information.
RADIUS Server Addr/Name: The default RADIUS server name or IP address that you
want to use.
RADIUS Server Secret: The RADIUS secret key used by this server. The shared secret
should have the same characteristics as a normal password.
RADIUS Server Port: The port on which the RADIUS server is listening, typically, the
default 1812.
