RADIUS client

Authentication over an external server
The concept of RADIUS is based on an external authentication server.
Each row of the table contains access data for one server. In the search order, the primary
server is queried first. If the primary server cannot be reached, secondary servers are queried
in the order in which they are entered.
If no server responds, there is no authentication.

In this mode the user is logged in with administrator rights if the server returns the value
"Administrative User" to the device for the attribute "Service Type". In all other cases the
user is logged in with read rights.
In this mode, the assignment of rights depends on whether and which group the server
returns for the user and whether or not there is an entry for the user in the table "External
User Accounts".
