Testing Authentication on the RADIUS 
Server 
To test a RADIUS authentication server by querying the currently configured server, use 
this command: 
 
auth test 
 
For example, to test the currently active RADIUS authentication server by attempting to 
authenticate the user bob with the password bob, type: 
 
sms2000% 
auth test
 
User Name: 
bob
Password: 
 
Note:
A RADIUS authentication server must already be active for this
command to work. 
 
Configuring a RADIUS SSL Back Channel
To configure a RADIUS SSL back channel so that passwords from subscribers are 
encrypted when transferred to SMS, obtain the 
tutsystems-ssl-auth.tar.gz
file and
install it and configure it on an SSL capable web server following the instructions in the 
documentation directory of the archive file. 
 
Configure and verify RADIUS authentication on SMS as normal. Then enter the 
following command: 
 
auth radius-back-channel-url https://MyServerName/sslonly/authform.php 
 
 
Verify that you can enter your username and password in the authentication form over 
HTTPS and that authentication works as before. 
 
Note:
It is necessary to obtain a certificate from a registered Certificate
Authority recognized by your web browser (e.g. Verisign) to eliminate warnings 
that subscribers may see when connecting to your secure site.
