[ Network Security > RADIUS ]
With its factory settings, the device authenticates users based on the local user management.
However, as the size of a network increases, it becomes more difficult to keep the login data of the
users consistent across the devices.
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) lets you authenticate and authorize the
users at a central point in the network. A RADIUS server performs the following tasks here:
Authentication
The authentication server authenticates the users when the RADIUS client at the access point
forwards the login data of the users to the server.
Authorization
The authentication server authorizes logged in users for selected services by assigning various
parameters for the relevant end device to the RADIUS client at the access point.
Accounting
The accounting server records the traffic data that has occurred during the port authentication
according to IEEE 802.1X. This enables you to subsequently determine which services the
users have used, and to what extent.
If you assign the
radius
policy to an application in the
Device Security > Authentication List
dialog,
then the device operates in the role of the RADIUS client. The device forwards the users’ login data
to the primary authentication server. The authentication server decides whether the login data is
valid and transfers the user’s authorizations to the device.
The device assigns the Service Type transferred in the response of a RADIUS server as follows to
a user role existing in the device:
•
Administrative-User
:
administrator
•
Login-User
:
operator
•
NAS-Prompt-User
:
guest
The device also lets you authenticate end devices with IEEE 802.1X through an authentication
server. To do this, you assign the
radius
policy to the
8021x
list in the
Device Security >
Authentication List
dialog.
The menu contains the following dialogs:
