RADIUS Authentication
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a client/server protocol,
established to manage modem pools. Its main objective is the centralized management
of user access policy; at its core is a standard framework for the exchange of Attribute-
Value Pairs (AVPs).
RADIUS AAA functions comprise three elements:
• Authentication – The function of checking user credentials (username and
password)
• Authorization – The function of defining the rights or privileges available after the
user is authenticated. For example, super user vs. read only user
• Accounting – The function of tallying time and resource usage for each user
Note: The current APEX firmware only supports Authentication, Authorization and
Integration with a SecurID server. RADIUS Accounting will be supported in a future
release of the APEX1000.
