Configuring a RADIUS Server for non-local Quantum Spark
Appliance users
Non-local users can be defined on a RADIUS server and not in the Quantum Spark Appliance. When a non-
local user logs in to the appliance, the RADIUS server authenticates the user and assigns the applicable
permissions. You must configure the RADIUS server to correctly authenticate and authorize non-local
users.
Notes:
n
The configuration of the RADIUS Servers may change according to the type of operating
system on which the RADIUS Server is installed.
n
If you define a RADIUS user with a null password (on the RADIUS server), the appliance
cannot authenticate that user.
