3. Configure Webmin Users

Revision 1.14.3

RX1000/RX1100™

Webmin users using a common RADIUS server, eliminating the need to replicate the effort of
configuring the same user account information on many routers.

If RuggedRouter is configured to use RADIUS to authenticate Webmin users (in the Miscellaneous
module under the Maintenance category), the router will present the configured RADIUS server with
the user name and password presented to a Webmin session for authentication. If the RADIUS server
authenticates the user, it will return an indication of success along with the privilege level (described
above) associated with the user.

A user successfully authenticated by a RADIUS server will have Webmin access corresponding to
his/her privilege level, as configured for the user account on the RADIUS server. For information on
how to configure user accounts on a RADIUS server, please refer to

RADIUS Server Configuration

.

Note

A Webmin user will only be authenticated locally if a user account of that name has already been
created in Webmin.

Note

The Change Password Command can only be accessed via a locally defined user account.
