RADIUS authentication setup.
The RADIUS server requires the IP
address, the UDP port number
(1812 - default or 1645) and the
shared secret. The shared secret is
used to encrypt communications
and corresponds to a shared
password for the RADIUS server
and the client machine. Two
additional servers may be defined
for backup purposes. Each server
will be tried in order, using the
indicated number of retries and
timeout period, which are configurable on the same page. Remember to enable RADIUS after
configuring it. While RADIUS authentication is enabled, the locally defined accounts on the
KVM control over IP module will not be used, except for the SSH login. However, if a user
name of the form “name.local” is given at the RADIUS prompt, the system will use “name”;
check the password locally, and skip RADIUS authentication. Delete all local accounts to avoid
this behavior. When connecting via VNC, a login screen is generated that asks for a RADIUS
username and password.
Additional RADIUS challenges
may be demanded depending on
the RADIUS server in use. This
allows operation with hardware
tokens and other advanced
authentication devices.
External Serial consoles setup and
