User management : Configuring RADIUS authentication
 
Configuring RADIUS authentication
Except for local users, FortiRecorder also support RADIUS user authentication. You will use the RADIUS authentication profiles when you add user accounts.
To configure a RADIUS query
1. Go to System > Authentication > RADIUS.
2. Click New.
A dialog appears.
3. Configure these settings:
Setting name
Description
Profile name
Type a name (such as RADIUS-query) that can be referenced by other parts of the configuration. Do not use spaces or special characters. The maximum length is 35 characters.
Server name/IP
Type the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or IP address of the RADIUS server that will be queried when an account referencing this profile attempts to authenticate.
Server port
Type the port number on which the authentication server listens for queries.
The IANA standard port number for RADIUS is 1812.
Protocol
Select which authentication method is used by the RADIUS server:
Password Authentication
Challenge Handshake Authentication (CHAP)
Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication (CHAP)
Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication V2 (CHAP version 2)
Default Authentication Scheme
NAS IP/Called station ID
Type the NAS IP address or Called Station ID (for more information about RADIUS Attribute 31, see RFC 2548 Microsoft Vendor-specific RADIUS Attributes). If you do not enter an IP address, the IP address of the FortiRecorder network interface used to communicate with the RADIUS server will be applied.
Server secret
Type the secret required by the RADIUS server. It must be the same as the secret that is configured on the RADIUS server.
Server requires domain
Enable if the authentication server requires that users authenticate using their full email address (such as user1@example.com) and not just the user name (such as user1).
4. Click OK.
To test the query, select this profile when configuring an account (“To configure an account”), then attempt to authenticate using that account’s credentials.
