Step 6: Create the System Key File
$ cat syscert.pem syskey.pem cacert.pem > sys.pem
6.5.3.10 Certificate and Key File Installation
After generating your root CA certificate and key file, you must install them on your
system. Use the
4.8.1.1: Certificates: Local
screen, and the
4.8.1.2: Certificates: Trusted
screen, to do this
6.5.4
RADIUS Support
Multinet4 supports remote user authentication by a RADIUS server.
Radius is an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) protocol defined in RFC
2865 and RFC 2866.
Authentication
– A RADIUS server receives requests for connections and checks that the
username and password provided are authentic using a shared secret and one of two
authentication schemes.
Authorization
– After successful authentication the RADIUS authorizes the requesting user
to begin a session on the system.
Use the
4.8.6.1: RADIUS: Global Settings
screen, and the
4.8.6.2: RADIUS: Servers
screen, to
add RADIUS servers and to configure them.
