7.6 RADIUS Server
The NAS can be configured as a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service)
server to provide centralized authentication, authorization, accounting management for
computers to connect and use a network service.
To use this feature, follow the steps below:
1. Enable RADIUS Server on the NAS in "RADIUS Server" > "Server Settings". Click
"Apply".
2. Add RADIUS clients, such as Wi-Fi access points and VPN, on the NAS in "RADIUS
Server" > "RADIUS Clients". Up to 10 RADIUS clients are supported. Click "Create a
Client".
3. Enter the client information and click "Apply".
4. The clients are shown on the list.
5. Create RADIUS users and their password in "RADIUS Server" > "RADIUS Users". The
users will be authenticated when trying to access the network through the RADIUS
clients. The maximum number of RADIUS users the NAS supports is the same as the
maximum number of local NAS users supported. See the chapter on Users for
details. Click "Create a User".
6. Enter the username and password. The username supports alphabets (a-z and A-Z)
and numbers (0-9) only. The password must be 8-32 characters (a-z, A-Z, and 0-9
only). Click "Apply".
7. Specify to grant dial-in access to local NAS users. Enable this option to allow the
local NAS users to access the network services through the RADIUS clients using
their NAS login name and password. Click "Apply".
