A user’s access request is sent to a proxy server if it cannot be authenticated by 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 the NAS, whereas the proxy appears to
act as a RADIUS client to the RADIUS server.
