RADIUS Settings (RADIUS Server) screen
This screen enables domain administrators to configure a RADIUS server to authenticate users accessing the
CLI or GUI based on user name and password and to provide role-based authorization. Users and client
system access must be configured on the RADIUS server side prior to enabling this feature in VCM.
Configuration changes made on this screen do not update the RADIUS server.
Users with domain privileges can test a RADIUS configuration before applying it. For more information, see
"Test RADIUS authentication (on page 64)."
The following table describes the fields within the RADIUS Settings (RADIUS Server) screen.
