Configuring RADIUS Server Options on the PSAX System
When accessing the PSAX system, you log onto the system with one of the
PSAX-defined usernames, or a username defined on a remote RADIUS
server. The PSAX-defined usernames, which cannot be changed, and their
access permissions are as follows:
•
root—This username provides ”super user” access including read/write
and administrative permissions.
•
readwrite—This username provides read/write permission.
•
readonly—This username provides read-only permission.
You must set up or change the RADIUS server options through the
CONSOLE
port (serial port) on the CPUn module, because you cannot change the
RADIUS server options remotely through a network.
To set up the RADIUS server options, perform the following procedure.
Begin
1
On the Console Interface Main Menu window, select the User Options
command.
The User Options window is displayed . Initially this window displays the
value LOCAL_ONLY in the Authentication Mode field (see Figure 5-3);
therefore, the other fields for setting up the RADIUS server options are
not displayed until you select either the value HYBRID or
RADIUS_ONLY in this field (see Figure 5-4).
2
Change the values in the fields according to the information provided in
Table 5-4.
3
Select the
Apply User Configuration
command. The commands on
this window are described in Table 5-3.
4
To permanently save these values, press Ctrl+G
to return to the Console
Interface Main Menu window.
5
On the Console Interface Main Menu window, select the Save Configu-
ration
command to store the values in the PSAX system database.
End
