Implementing Radius Remote Authentication - Raritan Dominion KX II User Manual

2. On your Active Directory server, create new groups with the same
group names as in the previous step.
3. On your AD server, assign the KX II users to the groups created in
step 2.
4. From the KX II, enable and configure your AD server properly. See

Important Notes

Group Name is case sensitive.

The KX II provides the following default groups that cannot be
changed or deleted: Admin and <Unknown>. Verify that your Active
Directory server does not use the same group names.

If the group information returned from the Active Directory server
does not match the KX II group configuration, the KX II automatically
assigns the group of <Unknown> to users who authenticate
successfully.

If you use a dialback number, you must enter the following case-
sensitive string: msRADIUSCallbackNumber.

Based on recommendations from Microsoft, Global Groups with user
accounts should be used, not Domain Local Groups.

type the IP address of your primary and optional secondary remote
authentication servers, respectively (up to 256 characters).
5. In the Shared Secret fields, type the server secret used for
authentication (up to 128 characters).
The shared secret is a character string that must be known by both
the KX II and the RADIUS server to allow them to communicate
securely. It is essentially a password.
6. The Authentication Port default is port is 1812 but can be changed
as required.
