User authentication through RADIUS servers (HNAS server only)
Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) is a networking protocol that
provides centralized authentication, authorization, and accounting management for
computers to connect and use a network service.
RADIUS is a client/server protocol that runs in the application layer, using UDP as
transport. The SMU acts as a RADIUS client component that communicates with the
RADIUS server to validate logins. The RADIUS server is usually a background process
running on a Unix or Microsoft Windows server.
RADIUS serves three functions:
■
Authenticates users or devices before granting them access to a network.
■
Authorizes those users or devices for certain network services.
■
Accounts for usage of those services.
The RADIUS server compatibility is as follows:
■
For IPv4 only, works with FreeRADIUS 2.1 or Windows 2003 Internet Authentication
Service (IAS).
■
For IPv6, requires FreeRADIUS 2.2 or Windows 2008 Network Policy Server (NPS).
Configuring
user authentication through a RADIUS server requires the following:
■
The RADIUS server must be set up and operational.
■
The SMU must be able to communicate with the RADIUS server using the network.
■
You must know the RADIUS server's:
●
IP address or DNS name.
●
Authentication port.
●
Shared secret for the SMU.
