4.3.5 RADIUS Authentication
RADIUS authentication provides the means to use an external RADIUS server to authenticate the
user accounts when logging in to SecureSync. RADIUS allows the login password for user-cre
ated accounts to be stored and maintained in a central RADIUS or server on the network. This
function greatly simplifies password management. Instead of having to change the password in
many network appliances when a password needs to be changed, if a user password is
changed in the RADIUS or RADIUS server, it automatically changes the login password for all
of the appliances that are using the RADIUS server to authenticate a user login.
In order to use the RADIUS authentication capability of the SecureSync, it needs to first be con
figured with the appropriate settings in order to be able to communicate with the RADIUS
server(s) on the network.
