Working with RADIUS servers
The HP APM firmware supports the RADIUS authentication protocol. When RADIUS is enabled, it is used to
verify login requests to HP APM through SSH, telnet, or the serial console.
Adding and removing a RADIUS server
To add a RADIUS server, enter ADD RADIUS SERVER <ip_address> <shared_secret>.
This command specifies an initial or additional RADIUS server to the HP APM list of authentication servers.
The authentication proceeds in the same order that these servers were added to the configuration. Up to a
total of five RADIUS servers can be added for authentication purposes. Port 1812 is assumed. The IP address
must match the location of the RADIUS server. The shared secret must be specified in quotes and must match
the string that has been programmed into the RADIUS server when receiving authentication requests from HP
APM.
To set the number of times HP APM polls each of the RADIUS server indicated in the ADD RADIUS SERVER
command, enter SET RADIUS POLLNUM. To set the number of seconds HP APM waits for a reply from the
RADIUS server, enter SET RADIUS POLLSEC. These settings can only be set globally and cannot be applied
to each individual RADIUS server.
To remove a RADIUS server, enter REMOVE RADIUS SERVER <index>.
This command removes a previously added RADIUS server that matches the index indicated with the SHOW
RADIUS command. RADIUS authentication is no longer attempted against this server.
Enabling and disabling a RADIUS server
To enable HP APM as a RADIUS client, enter ENABLE RADIUS.
All login attempts through SSH, Telnet, and the serial console are authenticated through the list of RADIUS
servers that were indicated with the ADD RADIUS SERVER command. Authentication is also verified against
the local password if the RADIUS servers indicate no access.
To disable RADIUS authentication on HP APM, enter DISABLE RADIUS.
Authentication through RADIUS no longer takes place, but password checking is still done against the local
password if that is still enabled. This command does not clear out the configured RADIUS servers.
