Integrating a RADIUS Accounting Server

NOTE: AWMS checks the local username and password before checking with the RADIUS server. If the user is found locally, the
local password and role apply. When using RADIUS, it's not necessary or recommended to define users on the AWMS server. The
only recommended user is the backup admin, in case the RADIUS server goes down.
Optionally, you can configure RADIUS server accounting on AMP Setup > RADIUS Accounting. This
capability is not required for basic AWMS operation, but can increase the user-friendliness of AWMS
administration in large networks.
Perform the following steps and configurations to enable AWMS to receive accounting records from a separate
RADIUS server.
