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 user role permissions can test a RADIUS configuration before applying it. For more
information, see "Test RADIUS authentication (on page 76)."
The following table describes the fields within the RADIUS Settings (RADIUS Server) screen. Clicking another
link in the pull-down menu or left navigation tree causes current edits that have not been applied to be lost.
Field Description
Enable RADIUS
Authentication
Select to enable RADIUS authentication.
Server Address
The IP address or the DNS name of the RADIUS server used for authentication
Server SSL Port
The server UDP port number. Valid values include a valid port number between 1
and 65535. The default port is 1812.
Server Timeout
The time in seconds that VCM should wait before timing out the request. If the
primary server times out and a secondary server is configured, VCM attempts the
request on the secondary server. If the secondary server times out, the request
fails. The valid range of values is from 1 to 600 seconds. The default timeout is 10
seconds.
Server Key
A shared secret text string to be used for encrypting user details. This string must
match between VCM and the RADIUS server. The secret-key is a plain text string
of 1 to 128 characters.
