Figure 404: Example RADIUS server list
Configuring a RADIUS server
The RADIUS server uses a “shared secret” key to encrypt information passed between it
and clients such as the FortiGate unit. When you configure a RADIUS server, you can also
configure a secondary RADIUS server. The FortiGate unit attempts authentication with the
primary server first, and if there is no response, uses the secondary server. You can
include the RADIUS server in every user group without including it specifically in user
group configurations.
The RADIUS server can use several different authentication protocols during the
authentication process:
MS-CHAP-V2 is the Microsoft challenge-handshake authentication protocol v2
MS-CHAP is the Microsoft challenge-handshake authentication protocol v1
CHAP (challenge-handshake authentication protocol) provides the same functionality
as PAP, but does not send the password and other user information over the network to
a security server
PAP (password authentication protocol) is used to authenticate PPP connections. PAP
transmits passwords and other user information in clear text (unencrypted).
If you have not selected a protocol, the default protocol configuration uses PAP, MS-
CHAPv2, and CHAP, in that order.
To add a new RADIUS server, go to User > Remote > RADIUS, select Create New, and
enter or select the following:
Create New Add a new RADIUS server. The maximum number is 10.
