Configuring the RADIUS Server
For a FreeRADIUS server (see http://www.freeradius.org/), configuration requires
placing the TimeCreator 1000 user information in the file "/etc/raddb/users.conf".
For other RADIUS servers, see the appropriate user documentation for information
on how to configure the server. The "Class" attribute from the RADIUS server is
used by the TimeCreator 1000 to indicate the security level for each authorized
user, as described in the Table 5-2 below:.
Listed below are example configurations for the file “/etc/raddb/users.conf” for the
FreeRADIUS server.
Example 1
: “Admin”-Level User
For user "usr_a" with a password of "test1a":
usr_a Auth-Type := Local, User-Password == "test1a"
Class= "15"
Example 2: “Power-User”-Level User
