RADIUS Services
The RADIUS protocol can support three services (RADIUS AAA):
RADIUS Authentication is supported by the aXsGUARD Identifier (described above).
RADIUS Accounting is is supported by the aXsGUARD Identifier. With a RADIUS back-end server, Accounting
requests are forwarded to the back-end server and handled by proxy. Without back-end authentication, audit
messages are generated.
RADIUS Authorization handles requests for an authentication client to use a particular service and is only
possible with a RADIUS back-end server. RADIUS Authorization cannot be supported by the aXsGUARD
Identifier without a RADIUS back-end server.
