Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS)
Your Connect IT Mini device supports Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS), a
networking protocol that provides centralized authentication and authorization management for
users who connect to the device. With RADIUS support, the Connect IT Mini device acts as a RADIUS
client, which sends user credentials and connection parameters to a RADIUS server over UDP. The
RADIUS server then authenticates the RADIUS client requests and sends back a response message to
the device.
When you are using RADIUS authentication, you can have both local users and RADIUS users able to
log in to the device. To use RADIUS authentication, you must set up a RADIUS server that is accessible
by the Connect IT Mini device prior to configuration. The process of setting up a RADIUS server varies
by the server environment. An example of a RADIUS server is FreeRADIUS.
