Figure 126. Authentication window
2. On the Authentication page, define values for the parameters as follows:
– Validation: Select staticThenRadius(4) or radiusUsers(2) .
Note We recommend you select staticThenRadius then add a static user to the RAS’s
user database. This will provide you an alternate login method so you can still
manage your RAS if RADIUS authentication should fail.
– Host Address: Enter the IP address of your RADIUS server.
– Secondary Host Address: Enter the IP address of your fallback RADIUS server, if you have one. Other-
wise, leave blank.
– Host Port: Enter the UDP Port number your RADIUS server uses to receive authentication requests
(typically 1645 or 1812).
Note The primary and secondary RADIUS server will use the same port number.
– Timeout: 2 is the default value; leave it alone unless you know better.
– Retries: 3 is the default value; leave it alone unless you know better
– Secret: Enter the secret from your RAS client profile on your RADIUS server.
– NAS Identifier: Optional. You may enter the IP address or ‘friendly name’ of your RAS as defined in
your RADIUS server’s client list.
