RADIUS Server
RADIUS Authentication
4. In the Realm Name field, enter the domain name for users who authenticate
to the domain proxy server.
When a user submits his or her username, the Wireless Edge Services xl
Module’s internal server checks the domain name. If this name matches
the name in the Realm Name field, the internal RADIUS server queries the
proxy server specified below.
For example, you enter “procurve.com” in the Realm Name field. If a user
enters “Joe” as his username, the internal RADIUS server uses its local
database to authenticate him. If the user enters “Joe@procurve.com,” the
internal server uses the proxy server to authenticate Joe.
The internal RADIUS sends the username to the proxy server with the full
domain extension.
The domain name can be up to 50 alphanumeric and special characters.
5. In the IP Address and Port Number fields, specify the external RADIUS
server’s IP address and port. The default port for RADIUS is 1812.
6. In the Shared Secret field, enter a string, which can include up to 31
alphanumeric and special characters.
The Wireless Edge Services xl Module must be configured as a RADIUS
client on the external RADIUS server, and the client configuration must
include this exact shared secret.
7. Click the OK button.
The external RADIUS server is now displayed in the Domain Proxy Servers
section.
