Add RADIUS Client Window

3

Enter the name of the RADIUS client in the

Name

field.

Although you can assign any name to a RADIUS client entry, you should use
the device's hostname to avoid confusion.
You can create a special RADIUS client entry called

<ANY>

by clicking the

Any RADIUS Client

checkbox (

Figure 13

). The

<ANY>

RADIUS client

enables RSA RADIUS Server to accept requests from any RAS, as long as
the shared secret is correct.

Figure 13

Creating an <ANY> RADIUS Client

Note that the

IP Address

field for an

<ANY>

RADIUS client cannot be

edited.

<ANY>

implies that the server accepts requests from any IP address,

provided that the shared secret is correct.
