Using RADIUS Authentication

In addition to the dial-in user list, which can hold up to eight users, this
model also supports an external authentication server which may
provide password storage and usage accounting for thousands of users.

Installing a RADIUS Server

To use RADIUS authentication, you will need to have a UNIX or
Windows NT-based machine on your network to act as a

radiusd

server, as well as a copy of the

radiusd

server program itself. You

can obtain a copy of the RADIUS software, along with documentation
for the server, at

http://www.livingston.com/marketing/products/radius.html

or at:

ftp://ftp.livingston.com/pub/le/radius/

Configuring the DI-1162 for RADIUS Authentication

To configure the DI-1162 to use the RADIUS server set up in the
previous section, go to the Main Menu in the console program and
choose Advanced Functions and then RADIUS Configuration.
