Administrator attributes
If you want to support multiple administrator names and passwords, you must use a RADIUS
server to manage them. The controller only supports a single admin name and password
internally (defined on the Controller >> Management > Management tool page).
Note Improper configuration of the administrator profile could expose the controller to access by
any user with a valid account. The only thing that distinguishes an administrative account
from that of a standard user account is the setting of the service type. Make sure that a user is
not granted access if service type is not Administrative, This is the reason why it may be
prudent to use a different RADIUS server to handle administrator logins. This practice
reduces the risk of a bad configuration on the RADIUS server side creating a security hole.
The following attributes are supported for administrator accounts.
