RADIUS is a mechanism used for authenticating remote users logging into
the Cajun switch. You can log into the switch in order to view or manage
the switch through the CLI or the embedded web interface. A RADIUS
client provides a mechanism for consolidating user login information.
When a user attempts to log into the switch, if there is no local user
account for the entered user name and password, then the switch will
send an Authentication Request to the RADIUS server in an attempt to
authenticate the user remotely. If the user name and password are
authenticated, then the RADIUS server responds with an authentication
acknowledgement that includes information on the user's privileges and
the user is allowed access to the switch. If the user is not authenticated,
then a Authentication Reject is sent to the switch and the user is denied
access to the switch's embedded management.
