The Authentication function enables you to configure an authentication server and establish
authentication policies. Authentication is configured to the local database by default. If you
configure primary authentication to a Radius server, a TACACS+ server, an LDAP server, or switch
authentication, you can also configure secondary authentication to the local server. When you log
in to the Management application, if the primary server is unavailable, the Management
application attempts with the next configured primary server. If all primary servers are unavailable,
then the Management application falls back to the secondary authentication. Fall back can occur
when the server is unavailable, authentication fails, or the user is not found.

field.
For Trial or Licensed version versions, do not use port 2638.
For Professional, do not use port 1527.
The server automatically restarts if you change the server port number. You must manually
restart the server if you change only the web server port number.
NOTE
You can only restart the server using the Server Management Console (Start > Programs >
Management_Application_Name 11.X.X > Server Management Console).
Select an Authentication Type (you will be prompted to provide a type in the Add or Edit Radius
Server dialog box). The Authentication Type is the authentication policy you choose for handling
authentication. The options are PAP and CHAP.
-
PAP, password protected protocol, is based on password verification. Passwords are not
encrypted, and are not secure from eavesdroppers during transmission.
-
CHAP, challenge handshake protocol, uses a three-way handshake method of verification
based on a shared secret. If you are using CHAP, have the shared secret available to you.
You will need to type it in as a configuration parameter.
Know the Shared Secret.
Have the IP address of the server available.
