RADIUS Client Configuration
Overview
Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) is a remote authentication protocol that is used to communicate with an authentication server.
A RADIUS server is responsible for receiving user connection requests, authenticating the user, and then returning all configuration information necessary for the client to deliver service to the user.
The key points for RADIUS authentication are:
• Transactions between client and server are authenticated through the use of a shared key and this key is never sent over the network.
• The password is encrypted before sending it over the network.
Note: As part of Radius Client, OcNOS supports authentication and accounting via Radius Server. Authorization is not supported.
