RADIUS
Understanding
User accounts can be centrally managed with a RADIUS server. RADIUS accounts can be mapped to
one of the three user roles.
If the RADIUS server is not accessible, users may use the local username/password to “fall back” to
local authentication if the unit is configured to do so. Many RADIUS servers do not respond to a failed
login attempt. To the unit, this appears the same as if the server is not there. The consequence of this
behavior is that after three failed login attempts, the authentication will take place against the local
user/password database if local fallback is enabled. Refer to the section on “Local User Management”
for configuring the authentication order.
If more than one RADIUS server is configured, then the unit will attempt each RADIUS server in the
order that they appear in the configuration until a successful response is received. A RADIUS server
must be configured to provide the user’s authentication group in its authentication reply via a GE MDS
vendor attribute. This can be configured in freeradius (an open source RADIUS server) by using the
following dictionary file:
VENDOR GEMDS 4130
BEGIN-VENDOR GEMDS
ATTRIBUTE GEMDS-UserAuth-Group 1 integer
VALUE GEMDS-UserAuth-Group Operator 0
VALUE GEMDS-UserAuth-Group Technician 1
VALUE GEMDS-UserAuth-Group Administrator 2
END-VENDOR GEMDS
And configuring users as follows:
admin Cleartext-Password := “admin”
GEMDS-UserAuth-Group := Administrator
tech Cleartext-Password := “tech”
GEMDS-UserAuth-Group := Technician
oper Cleartext-Password := “oper”
GEMDS-UserAuth-Group := Operator
Configuring
The following shows how to configure a RADIUS server:
admin@(none) 02:23:42% set system mds-radius servers server1 address 192.168.1.2 shared-secret
abcd1234 user-authentication-type radius-CHAP
admin@(none) 00:06:15% show system mds-radius
servers server1 {
address 192.168.1.2;
shared-secret abcd1234;
user-authentication-type radius-CHAP;
}
