RADIUS Configuration
Overview
PINsafe is a RADIUS server and can accept requests from Network Access Servers (RADIUS Clients) that ask authentication information from the PINsafe sever. For non RADIUS devices, PINsafe supports an XML authentication see XML Authentication Configuration.
This RADIUS configuration guide outlines how to configure PINsafe as a RADIUS server for NAS clients. For further information on the PINsafe RADIUS server and options available see RADIUS How To Guide
Configuring the RADIUS server
Configure the RADIUS settings using the RADIUS configuration page in the PINsafe Administration console. In this example (see diagram below) the RADIUS Mode is set to ‘Enabled’ and the HOST IP (the PINsafe server) is set to 0.0.0.0. (leaving the field empty has the same result). This means that the server will answer all RADIUS requests received by the server regardless of the IP address that they were sent to, and is useful where multiple network interfaces are used.
If an IP is specified then only RADIUS requests sent to that IP address will be responded to.
Setting up the RADIUS NAS
Set up the NAS using the Network Access Servers page in the PINsafe Administration console. Enter a name for the Access device. The IP address has been set to the IP of the Access, and the secret ‘secret’ assigned that will be used on both the PINsafe server and Access Device RADIUS configuration.
Note for access using mobile phone devices (Swivlet, >NET mobile, iPhone App the access device must be configured to use PAP for authentication.
