Implementing Radius Remote Authentication - Raritan Dominion KX II User Manual

Chapter 7: User Management


Group Name is case sensitive.

The Dominion KX II provides the following default groups that cannot
be changed or deleted: Admin and <Unknown>. Verify that your
Active Directory server does not use the same group names.

If the group information returned from the Active Directory server
does not match a Dominion KX II group configuration, the Dominion
KX II automatically assigns the group of <Unknown> to users who
authenticate successfully.

If you use a dialback number, you must enter the following
case-sensitive string: msRADIUSCallbackNumber.

Based on recommendations from Microsoft, Global Groups with user
accounts should be used, not Domain Local Groups.

Implementing RADIUS Remote Authentication

Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) is an AAA
(authentication, authorization, and accounting) protocol for network
access applications.
To use the RADIUS authentication protocol:
1. Click User Management > Authentication Settings to open the
Authentication Settings page.
2. Click the RADIUS radio button to enable the RADIUS section of the
page.
3. Click the
page.
4. In the Primary Radius Server and Secondary Radius Server fields,
type the IP address of your primary and optional secondary remote
authentication servers, respectively (up to 256 characters).
5. In the Shared Secret fields, type the server secret used for
authentication (up to 128 characters).
The shared secret is a character string that must be known by both
the Dominion KX II and the RADIUS server to allow them to
communicate securely. It is essentially a password.
6. The Authentication Port default is port is 1812 but can be changed
as required.
7. The Accounting Port default port is 1813 but can be changed as
required.
8. The Timeout is recorded in seconds and default timeout is 1 second,
but can be changed as required.
The timeout is the length of time the Dominion KX II waits for a
response from the RADIUS server before sending another
authentication request.
