Authentication
This category requires input for enabling RADIUS authentication and requires you to
define IP addresses, ports, and secret keys for the primary and secondary RADIUS
servers (the secondary server is optional).
1. Enable or disable the RADIUS Authentication Service, as required, by clicking
on the
Enable RADIUS Authentication Service check box.
2. If you enabled the RADIUS Authentication Service, enter the primary RADIUS
authentication server IP address in the
Primary IP field.
3. Enter the authorization port in the Port field for the primary RADIUS
authentication server. This is the port the system uses when authorizing
subscribers.
4. Enter a secret key in the Secret Key field for the primary RADIUS
authentication server. During the authentication process, the server and client
exchange secret keys. The secret keys must match for communication between
the server and the client to continue. The secret key is a valuable and necessary
security measure.
5. Repeat Steps 2 through 4 for the secondary RADIUS authentication server (if
used).
Accounting
This category requires input for enabling the RADIUS accounting service, and also
requires the necessary IP addresses, ports and secret keys for the primary and
secondary RADIUS accounting servers. The RADIUS accounting server is
responsible for receiving accounting requests and returning a response to the client
indicating that it has received the request.
1. To enable the accounting service for your RADIUS functionality, click on the
check box for Enable RADIUS Accounting Service.
2.
Enter the primary RADIUS accounting server IP address in the Primary IP field.
3. Enter the accounting port in the Port field for the primary RADIUS accounting
server. This is the port the system uses when communicating accounting records.
4. Enter a secret key in the Secret Key field for the primary RADIUS accounting
server.
5. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 for the secondary RADIUS accounting server (if used).
The HSG and the RADIUS servers must use the same secret key.
