About RADIUS Auth
A RADIUS Auth action authenticates a client against an external RADIUS server. A RADIUS Auth
action provides these configuration elements and options.
When configured in a
per-request policy subroutine, some screen elements and options described here might not be
available.
- AAA Server
- Specifies the RADIUS accounting server; servers are defined in the area of the Configuration utility.
- Show Extended Error
- When enabled, causes comprehensive error messages generated by the authentication server to display on the user's logon page. This setting is intended only for use in testing, in a production or debugging environment. If enabled in a live environment, your system might be vulnerable to malicious attacks. (When disabled, displays non-comprehensive error messages generated by the authentication server on the user's logon page.)
- Max Logon Attempts Allowed
- Specifies the number of user authentication logon attempts to allow. A complete logon and password challenge and response is considered as one attempt.For a per-request policy subroutine, equivalent functionality is supported through subroutine settings.
- Username Source
- Specifies the session variable name from which RADIUS agent should read the username. The default value is%{session.logon.last.username}.
- Password Source
- Specifies the session variable name from which RADIUS agent should read the password. The default value is%{session.logon.last.password}.
