F-10 RADIUS

Outbound-User

The RADIUS protocol defines this user type as a user on the
local network who is using the modems to dial out (Similar to
the NETServer’s host device dial out user). However, the
RADIUS Outbound-User type is not defined on the NETServer.
Do not use Outbound-Users in your RADIUS users file.

For authentication, the NETServer requires that host device dial
out users be defined as login users who will be telnetted directly
to a modem when they successfully log in. To add these users to
RADIUS, define them as login-users.

Making NETServer talk to a RADIUS security server

This section assumes that RADIUS is already up and running on
a workstation on your network.

1.

Select the primary RADIUS security server:

set authentic <IP address>

2.

Optional. Select the alternate RADIUS security server.

If your network has more than one RADIUS server, indicate
which one will be considered the alternate server. If for
some reason the primary server is unavailable, the
NETServer will check with the alternate server.

set alternate <IP address>

3.

Set the encryption key or secret.

This is the encryption key that the NETServer uses to
encrypt user IDs and passwords and that the RADIUS
server uses to decrypt them. The RADIUS server(s) must be
set to the same encryption key or secret. The encryption key
can be up to 15 characters long.

set secret <encryption key>

4.

Save the changes. Use the following command:

save global
