11-6 System Security
The fields in the System Security - External Server Menu are listed in the following table.
Table 11-1 System Security - External Server Menu Fields
Field Description Default
Active Determines whether the external security facility is enabled.
If No, only the built-in dial-up user list will be used.
If Yes, the built-in dial-up user list will be searched first, then the external
authentication server.
Type Determines the type of the external authentication server. At present only
RADIUS is supported.
Server
Address The IP address of the RADIUS server.
Port # The IP port number used by the authentication server. The default is port
1645. [1645]
Key A “password” used to authenticate your Prestige to the RADIUS service.
Please note that this is between the Prestige and the server; it has nothing to
do with the dial-in users.
11.2.3 The Key Field
The “key”, or password, must match that in the client file in the RADIUS server’s /etc/raddb
directory, as shown in the following example:
# Client Name Key
#-------------------------
192.168.1.1 1234
After you configure a RADIUS server, your Prestige will use it to authenticate all users that it can not find in
its internal dial-up user list (see Menu 14)
11.2.4 Adding Users to the RADIUS Database
To add a user to the RADIUS database, edit the users file in the RADIUS server’s /etc/raddb
directory, and add a line similar to the following:
Joeuser Password = “joepassword”
