RADIUS Settings (RADIUS Server) screen

This screen enables domain administrators to configure a RADIUS server to authenticate users accessing the

CLI or GUI based on user name and password and to provide role-based authorization. Users and client

system access must be configured on the RADIUS server side prior to enabling this feature in VCM.

Configuration changes made on this screen do not update the RADIUS server.
Users with domain user role permissions can test a RADIUS configuration before applying it. For more

information, see "Test RADIUS authentication (on page

76

)."

The following table describes the fields within the RADIUS Settings (RADIUS Server) screen. Clicking another

link in the pull-down menu or left navigation tree causes current edits that have not been applied to be lost.

seconds.
