Use the Radius Settings page to configure the EdgeMarc to communicate with a network-deployed RADIUS server to authenticate serial console, SSH, TELNET, HTTP, and HTTPS management sessions.
About RADIUS Settings
Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) is an authentication, authorization and accounting protocol that is used for management sessions with the EdgeMarc. If RADIUS authentication is configured, the EdgeMarc communicates with a network deployed RADIUS server to authenticate serial console, SSH, TELNET, HTTP, and HTTPS management sessions.
If the EdgeMarc cannot contact the network-based RADIUS server in the specified number of retries, or the configured shared secret does not match the secret on the RADIUS server, the EdgeMarc uses the credentials supplied by the user to perform local authentication.
The RADIUS Settings page contains parameters for RADIUS server authentication for HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, Telnet, and console login. For all protocols except SSH, feedback is given to the operator indicating whether the login is being sent to the RADIUS server or verified locally. Sessions involving the RADIUS server are identified with the string “Radius” in the login prompt. Sessions authenticated locally on the EdgeMarc are identified with the string “System” in the login prompt.
