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