Configuring a RADIUS SSL Back Channel
To configure a RADIUS SSL back channel so that passwords from subscribers are
encrypted when transferred to SMS, obtain the
tutsystems-ssl-auth.tar.gz file and
install it and configure it on an SSL capable web server following the instructions in the
documentation directory of the archive file.
Configure and verify RADIUS authentication on SMS as normal. Then enter the
following command:
auth radius-back-channel-url https://MyServerName/sslonly/authform.php
Verify that you can enter your username and password in the authentication form over
HTTPS and that authentication works as before.
Note: It is necessary to obtain a certificate from a registered Certificate
Authority recognized by your web browser (e.g. Verisign) to eliminate warnings
that subscribers may see when connecting to your secure site.
