Figure 174: RADIUS Administration page

RADIUS Client Configuration

To enable EPICenter as a RADIUS client, do the following:

Click the

Enable EPICenter as a RADIUS Client

button at the top of the page.

This enables the fields in the

Client Configuration

panel.

It is recommended, but not required, that both a primary and a secondary RADIUS server be
available for authentication.

Fill in the name or IP address of the primary and secondary RADIUS servers.

The default port used for the RADIUS server is 1645. If either RDIAUS server uses a different port,
enter that port number in the appropriate

RADIUS Port

field.

NOTE

The port you enter must match the port configured for the RADIUS server or EPICenter will not be able to access
the RADIUS server.
