RADIUS authentication
PTP 600 supports remote authentication for users of the web interface using the
Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) over the Remote Authentication
Dial In User Service (RADIUS). PTP 600 supports connections to primary and
secondary RADIUS servers. The RADIUS interface is configured through the RADIUS
Authentication page of the web-based interfaces.
PTP 600 RADIUS supports the standard Service Type attribute to indicate
authentication roles of System Administrator and Read Only together with a vendor
specific attribute to indicate authentication roles of Security Officer, System
Administrator, and Read Only.
Remote authentication can be used in addition to local authentication, or can be used
as a replacement for local authentication. If remote and local authentication are used
together, PTP 600 checks log in attempts against locally stored user credentials before
submitting a challenge and response for remote authentication. Remote authentication
is not attempted if the username and password match locally stored credentials.
RADIUS is only available when PTP 600 is configured for Identity-based User
Accounts. For more information, refer to
RADIUS protocols and attributes
