-ML User’s Guide
All transactions between the RADIUS client and server are authenticated through
the use of a “shared secret” which is not sent over the network. The shared secret is
an authentication password configured on both the RADIUS client and its RADIUS
servers. The shared secret is stored as clear text in the client’s file on the RADIUS
server, and in the non-volatile memory of the P330. In addition, user passwords are
sent between the client and server are encrypted for increased security.
Figure 8.1 illustrates the RADIUS authentication procedure:
