Appendix C: RADIUS Server Settings
This appendix discusses the RADIUS server and how it interacts with Dominion KSX to accommodate Dominion
KSX as a RADIUS client. For information on designating the Dominion KSX unit itself as a RADIUS client, see the
Radius Configuration section in
Chapter 4: Administrative Menus .
RADIUS Authentication Priority and Flowchart
When Dominion KSX is configured to utilize RADIUS authentication, user login attempts are first checked against
Dominion KSX’s internal username and password list. (At least one username/password pair, for the “admin” user,
must exist in the Dominion KSX database). Should the login attempt fail and Dominion KSX is configured to utilize
an external RADIUS server, Dominion KSX then consults the RADIUS server for completing authentication. This
process flow is illustrated below.
