Orolia SecureSync 2400 User Manual

4.3.5 RADIUS Authentication
RADIUS authentication provides a means to use an external RADIUS server for authen-
tication purposes when logging in to SecureSync. RADIUS allows the login password for
user-created accounts to be stored and maintained in a central RADIUS server on the net-
work.
This function greatly simplifies password management: Instead of having to change a pass-
word in many network appliances, it is changed on the RADIUS server only.
In order to use RADIUS authentication with SecureSync, RADIUS and the RADIUS net-
work server first need to be configured. Currently, http/https/ssh/telnet/ftp protocols are
supported, i.e. you can login to a SecureSync unit using RADIUS authentication via applic-
ations using any of these protocols.
Caution: In order to utilize RADIUS authentication, the account username
on the RADIUS server must NOT be used with a local user account.
E x a m p l e :
A user with the username user3 on the RADIUS server will not be able to login to a
SecureSync unit, if on that unit a local user account with the username user3 exists. However,
once the user deleted the local user3 account, she will be able to login with the RADIUS
user3 account.
