3. Click the specific RADIUS Authentication Server folder to which the
CCU is to be configured. The RADIUS Authentication Server Properties
dialog opens on the right, as shown below:
The CCU can configured to the selected Authentication Server by entering
properties in the following fields:
Note: The properties should be obtained from the server operator.
Server name: Enter a meaningful Authentication Server name. This name
will be used in log messages referring to this server. This
name can be identical to the name specified in the CCU
identified as (host name) field (see below).
Server IP address. Enter the specific Server IP number.
CCU identified as (host
name). Enter the name of the CCU. The sever uses this name to
identify this specific CCU from the cluster of other CCUs that
may be using the same server. The name entered in this field
should be the same as the name specified in the parallel field
in the Authentication Server itself.
Mutual Secret. Enter the password that is shared between the CCU and the
Authentication Serve. The password is never sent to the
server. It enables the CCU and the server to authenticate each
other’s messages. This is performed by means of a specially
encrypted digital signature based upon the password.
Server RADIUS port. From the dropdown list, select either the 1645 (Default) value
or the 1822 (Official) value. Most RADIUS Servers use the
1645 (Default) value.
Enable server Check the Enable server to checkbox to activate the RADIUS
Authentication Server. IF the checkbox remains unchecked,
the Authentication Server is disabled and the CCU will allow
all users to connect, regardless of their user name and
password.
