Configuring a RADIUS Server for non-local Quantum Spark Appliance users:
Non-local users can be defined on a RADIUS server and not in the Quantum Spark Appliance. When a non-
local user logs in to the appliance, the RADIUS server authenticates the user and assigns the applicable
permissions. You must configure the RADIUS server to correctly authenticate and authorize non-local
users.
Note - The configuration of the RADIUS Servers may change according to the type of operating system on
which the RADIUS Server is installed.
Note - If you define a RADIUS user with a null password (on the RADIUS server), the appliance cannot
authenticate that user.
Configuring a Steel-Belted RADIUS server for non-local appliance users
1. Create the dictionary file
checkpoint.dct
on the RADIUS server, in the default dictionary
directory (that contains
radius.dct
). Add these lines in the
checkpoint.dct
file:
@radius.dct
