Operation of User Authentication
When user authentication is set to
Local
or
RADIUS
, you must enter a valid
user name and password before being allowed to manage the radio. In
RADIUS
mode both of these fields may be up to 40 characters long. In
Local
mode the user name is
ESS
and the password may be up to 8 char-
acters long.
When set to
RADIUS
, all logins to the local configuration services are
required to be authenticated via the RADIUS Server, including telnet
and SSH (Secure Shell) sessions. Authentication must be accepted
before access to the radio menu is granted.

Figure 3-41. RADIUS Configuration Menu
•
Server IP Address
—Used to set/display address of the Server
where the RADIUS application resides.
•
Server IP port
—1812 is the standard port for authentication (RFC
2865, June 2000) and should not be changed unless instructed
to do so by an administrator.
•
Shared Secret
—User authentication and Device authentication
require a common shared secret to complete a RADIUS trans-
action. This entry must match the string used to configure the
appropriate files on the RADIUS Server.
•
User Auth Mode
—Should be set to PAP or CHAP depending on
the configuration of the server.
NOTE: CHAP is the more secure mode when compared to PAP. PAP
may display the login password in log files at the RADIUS
Server. CHAP will encrypt the login password.
NOTE:
The security password may not exceed 40 characters in length.
