a Specify the IP Address/Mask of the subnet or host authenticating with the Radius client.
b Specify a Radius Shared Secret for authenticating the RADIUS client.
Shared secrets used to verify Radius messages (with the exception of the Access-Request
message) are sent by a Radius -enabled device configured with the same shared secret. The
shared secret is a case-sensitive string that can include letters, numbers, or symbols. Make the
shared secret at least 31 characters to protect the Radius server from brute-force attacks.
c Refer to the Status field for the current state of the requests made from applet. This field displays
error messages if something is wrong in the transaction between the applet and the controller.
d Click OK to use the changes to the running configuration and close the dialog.

Radius Proxy Server Configuration
The controller can be configured to send Radius requests to a proxy radius server. A user's access
request is sent to a proxy server if it cannot be authenticated by a local server. The proxy server
forwards the access request to a proxy server that can authenticate the user. The proxy server checks the
information in the user access request and either accepts or rejects the request. If the proxy target server
accepts the request, it returns configuration information specifying the type of connection service
required to authenticate the user.
To configure Radius proxy server support:
1 Select Security > Radius Server from the main menu.
2 Ensure the Configuration tab is selected.
3 Select the Proxy Servers tab from the bottom of the Configuration tab.
The Proxy Servers tab displays the user ID suffix (index), IP address and port number of the
controller’s existing proxy server configurations.
4 To remove an existing Radius proxy server configuration from the table of configurations available to
the controller, select the configuration and click the Delete button.
5 Click the Add button at the bottom of the screen to create a new Radius proxy server configuration.
