RuggedCom RX1000 Network Router User Manual


 
RuggedRouter® User Guide
The RADIUS server providing the WEBMIN service must also be configured to
supply a “privilege-level” field which is used to allow different levels of access to
different users of the web management interface. See Appendix E - RADIUS Server
Configuration for more information on configuring the RADIUS server, and .Webmin
User and Group Fundamentals for more information about the privilege levels
themselves.
Helpful Hint
Some users set the rrsetup and root account passwords to difficult to guess strings that are unique to
each router, then employ a common password for all routers in RADIUS. The router specific strings
are restricted to a very few personnel. A larger set of expert users is granted the rights to SSH login
using the RADIUS root account passwords. Yet another set of users is granted access via Webmin
user accounts.
RADIUS authentication is logged to the authorization log (file auth.log). Details of
each authentication including time of occurrence, source and result are included.
