User roles are specified in the Vendor Specific Attribute (VSA) of the Access-Accept response from the server.
The following table shows the syntax of the VSA based account role on the RADIUS server.

•
If RADIUS authentication fails when "Do not use Internal Authentication" has been selected for "Authentica-
tion Error Recovery" on ETERNUS Web GUI, ETERNUS CLI, or SMI-S, logging on to ETERNUS Web GUI or ETER-
NUS CLI will not be available.
When the setting to use Internal Authentication for errors caused by network problems is configured, Inter-
nal Authentication is performed if RADIUS authentication fails on both primary and secondary RADIUS serv-
ers, or at least one of these failures is due to network error.
•
So long as there is no RADIUS authentication response the ETERNUS AF will keep retrying to authenticate
the user for the entire "Timeout" period set on the "Set RADIUS Authentication (Initial)" menu. If authentica-
tion does not succeed before the "Timeout" period expires, RADIUS Authentication is considered to be a fail-
ure.
•
When using RADIUS authentication, if the role that is received from the server is unknown (not set) for the
device, RADIUS authentication fails.
