Using RADIUS Authentication to Access the ETERNUS AF/DX

  • RADIUS Authentication is used to authenticate logging in to the ETERNUS AF/DX with ETERNUS Web GUI or ETERNUS CLI.

  • Up to two RADIUS servers can be connected to an ETERNUS AF/DX.

  • To use RADIUS Authentication, the user account information (user ID, password, and role) that is allowed to access ETERNUS AF/DX in the RADIUS server must be pre-registered.

  • There are two types of authentication methods: CHAP and PAP.

  • User roles are specified in the Vendor Specific Attribute (VSA) of the Access-Accept response from the server. The following table shows the syntax of the VSA based account role on the RADIUS server.
