RADIUS server reference

Note This information applies only to the ConnectPort TS.

Before you can use the RADIUS server to authenticate users attempting to access a ConnectPort TS device, your system administrator must configure the RADIUS server with the following:

• A default set of attributes (or roles):
  • role-admin
  • role-outbound
  • role-nasprompt
• The desired permissions assigned to each attribute. The permissions determine the actions the user role is allowed to perform in the ConnectPort TS web interface.

  Note The permissions assigned to the attributes on the RADIUS server must exactly match the permissions assigned to the user on the device. See Create RADIUS server roles.

When the RADIUS server is configured and RADIUS authentication is enabled on the ConnectPort TS, then when user logs into the device using one of the default attributes, the device sends the user login information (user name, password, and attribute) to the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server logs into the device using the login information. The user is then able to perform actions in the ConnectPort TS web interface.
