RADIUS Attributes for User Privileges
When a user logs in, Alteon authenticates the user’s access level by sending the RADIUS access
request (the client authentication request) to the RADIUS authentication server. If the remote user
is successfully authenticated by the authentication server, Alteon verifies the privileges of the
remote user and authorizes the appropriate access.
