A user’s access request is sent to a proxy RADIUS server if it cannot be authenticated by the local
RADIUS resources. The proxy server checks the information in the user access request and either
accepts or rejects the request. If the proxy server accepts the request, it returns configuration
information specifying the type of connection service required to authenticate the user.
The RADIUS proxy appears to act as a RADIUS server to NAS, whereas the proxy appears to act as a
RADIUS client to the RADIUS server.
When the proxy server receives a request for a user name with a realm, the server references a
table of realms. If the realm is known, the server proxies the request to the RADIUS server.
