4.11 RADIUS
With its factory settings, the device authenticates users based on the local
user management. However, as the size of a network increases, it becomes
more difficult to keep the login data of the users consistent across the
devices.
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) allows you to
authenticate and authorize the users at a central point in the network. A
RADIUS server performs the following tasks here:
Authentication
The authentication server authenticates the users when the RADIUS
client at the access point forwards the users’ login data to the server.
Authorization
The authentication server authorizes logged in users for selected services
by assigning various parameters for the relevant end device to the
RADIUS client at the access point.
The device operates in the role of the RADIUS client if you assign the
radius
policy to an application in the
Device Security > Authentication List
dialog. The device forwards the users’ login data to the primary
authentication server. The authentication server decides whether the login
data is valid and transfers the user’s authorizations to the device.
The menu contains the following dialogs:
