RADIUS Authentication
RADIUS authentication provides a means to use an external RADIUS server for authentication
purposes when logging in to NetClock. RADIUS allows the login password for user-created
accounts to be stored and maintained in a central RADIUS server on the network.
This function greatly simplifies password management: Instead of having to change a password
in many network appliances, it is changed on the RADIUS server only.
In order to use RADIUS authentication with NetClock, RADIUS and the RADIUS network server
first need to be configured. Currently, http/https/ssh/telnet/ftp protocols are supported, i.e.
you can login to a NetClock unit using RADIUS authentication via applications 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 NetClock 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.
