Add Radius Server; Edit Parameters For A Radius Server - Eaton ePDU G3 Operating Manual

Add RADIUS Server

Authorization configuration must be done in the radius server to add the ePDU remote group defined in the
Remote Group Access ePDU setting.
The authorization is based on the information sent by the server through the following RADIUS attribute:
Vendor Specific ID: 534
l
Vendor Specific Attribute ID: 29, format string
l
The authorization strings sent by the server from the vendor-specific attributes (VSA) are compared with the
remote groups configured in the ePDU. If a remote group is found, the profile user linked to the remote group
is set to the remote user (in case of authentication success). If no group is found, the access is rejected by the
ePDU.
This attribute must be added in the RADIUS server configuration and must be sent for each remote user
allowed to access to the ePDU.

1. Access the Web interface and log in.
2. Under Network and Security, select RADIUS. The RADIUS page displays.
