Troubleshooting RADIUS
Symptom 1
User authentication/authorization always fails.
Analysis
Possible reasons include:
• A communication failure exists between the NAS and the RADIUS server.
• The username is not in the format userid@isp-name or the ISP domain is not correctly configured on
the NAS.
• The user is not configured on the RADIUS server.
• The password entered by the user is incorrect.
• The RADIUS server and the NAS are configured with different shared keys.
Solution
Check that:
• The NAS and the RADIUS server can ping each other.
• The username is in the userid@isp-name format and the ISP domain is correctly configured on the
NAS.
• The user is configured on the RADIUS server.
• The correct password is entered.
• The same shared key is configured on both the RADIUS server and the NAS.
