You can authorize users in the UserGate web console using a RADIUS authentication server, with the console working as a RADIUS client. When authorization is done using a RADIUS server, UserGate sends the username and password information to the RADIUS server, which then responds as to whether or not the authentication was successful.
To add a RADIUS authentication server, click Add, select Add RADIUS server, and provide the following settings:
|
Name |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Enabled |
Enables or disables the use of this authentication server. |
|
Name |
The name of the RADIUS authentication server. |
|
Description |
An optional description of the server. |
|
Shared secret |
Pre-shared key used by the RADIUS protocol for authentication. |
|
Addresses |
Specify the server's IP address and the UDP port on which the RADIUS server listens for authentication requests (the default port number is 1812). |
To authorize users in UserGate's web interface using a RADIUS server, you need to configure an authentication profile. For more details on creating and configuring profiles, see the section Realm Authentication Profiles.
