How do I configure the V!CAS as a RADIUS client?
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) is a client/server
security system often used by ISPs (Internet Service Providers) to control
access to a network. The server maintains a database of user authentica-
tion data. If a RADIUS server is being used on the LAN, the V!CAS can
be configured as a RADIUS client.
Before you begin
You’ll need the following information
• The IP address of your RADIUS server.
• The RADIUS Client Key
(as defined in the Key field of /etc/radb/clients).
Configure it
Set Server’s IP Address
Set the IP address of the host operating as the RADIUS server.
RADIUS Server
<IP Address>
Set the RADIUS Client Key
Set the key the V!CAS will use when polling the RADIUS server.
RADIUS Server Password
<Client Key>
The V!CAS is now configured as a RADIUS client.
Before refusing connections for incoming callers that can’t be
authenticated using PAP or CHAP, the RADIUS server is polled. If
the server authenticates the caller, a new interface is created on
demand. The characteristics of the new interface must be configured
on the server in /etc/radb/users.
The V!CAS also adds a static route for the partner. Once the con-
nection is closed, the interface and route are deleted, and any
accounting data are sent to the server.
