Configuring the RADIUS server
Using RADIUS Agent | Web Protection Solutions |v8.4.x, v8.5.x | 29-Apr-2022
To enable proper communication between RADIUS Agent and your RADIUS server:
*
Add the IP address of the RADIUS Agent machine to your RADIUS server's client list. For instructions, see your RADIUS server documentation.
*
Define shared secrets between the RADIUS server and all RADIUS clients that use the agent to communicate with the RADIUS server. Shared secrets are usually specified as authentication security options.
Configuring a shared secret for RADIUS clients and the RADIUS server provides secure transmission of RADIUS messages. Typically, the shared secret is a common text string. For instructions, see your RADIUS server documentation.
 
* 
Note 
The RADIUS server should include the attributes User-Name and Framed-IP-Address in authentication and accounting messages. RADIUS Agent uses the values of these attributes to interpret and store user name/IP address pairs. If your RADIUS server does not generate this information by default, configure it to do so (see the RADIUS server documentation).
