Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS)
Your Connect IT 4 device supports Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS), a networking
protocol that provides centralized authentication and authorization management for users who
connect to the device. With RADIUS support, the Connect IT 4 device acts as a RADIUS client, which
sends user credentials and connection parameters to a RADIUS server over UDP. The RADIUS server
then authenticates the RADIUS client requests and sends back a response message to the device.
When you are using RADIUS authentication, you can have both local users and RADIUS users able to
log in to the device. To use RADIUS authentication, you must set up a RADIUS server that is accessible
by the Connect IT 4 device prior to configuration. The process of setting up a RADIUS server varies by
the server environment. An example of a RADIUS server is FreeRADIUS.
