System Management : Configuring RADIUS authentication
 
Configuring RADIUS authentication
You can configure administrator authentication against a RADIUS server.
Before you begin:
• You must have Read-Write permission for System settings.
After you have completed the RADIUS server configuration, you can select it instead of the local authentication server when you create an administrator user.
To configure a RADIUS server:
1. Go to System > Authentication > RADIUS.
2. Complete the configuration as described in Table 72.
3. Save the configuration.
