RADIUS

The AppViewX system allows you to add more than one Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server for authentication.

To configure the settings for RADIUS authentication:

  1. Click Menu > Settings > General > Authentication > Quick Config.
    The Authentication screen opens with the LDAP sub-tab displayed by default.
  2. Click the RADIUS sub-tab and click on Configure RADIUS.
  3. In the Server name field, enter the name of the server you want to set up RADIUS authentication for in the configure pop up appears.
  4. In the Host field, enter the IP address of the RADIUS server.
  5. In the Shared secret field, enter the secret text string shared between the RADIUS server and AppViewX.
  6. In the Authentication port field, enter a port number that AppViewX will use for authentication.
  7. In the Acceptance port field, define a port number that AppViewX will use to accept the response from the RADIUS server.
  8. In the Authentication Mode field, select the radio button beside the kind of authentication you want to use. This must be confirmed in the RADIUS server settings as well. AppViewX supports the following four authentication modes:
    • PAP/ASCII
    • CHAP
    • MS-CHAPv2
    • EAP-MD5
  9. The Authorization toggle is enabled by default and hence, authorization is required. The authorization can be done using RADIUS or LDAP. If you want to disable authorization, click the (Enabled) button to set it to (Disabled).
  10. The following options are displayed only when the feature is enabled:
    • (For RADIUS) In the Vendor ID field, enter the vendor server ID, which can be found in the Vendor-Specific Attributes (VSA) within the RADIUS server settings or which you can get directly from the vendor. An example is 500.
    • (For RADIUS) In the Vendor type field, enter the vendor type, which can be found in the Vendor-Specific Attributes (VSA) within the RADIUS server settings or which you can get directly from the vendor. An example is 102.
    • (For LDAP) From the LDAP dropdown list, select an LDAP server, using which the authorization must be performed.
    • Click Add to save the RADIUS configuration in the AppViewX system and have it added to the list at the RADIUS Inventory table.
    Note: To delete an existing configuration in the RADIUS inventory table, select the required RADIUS configuration using the Select checkbox beside the respective configuration and click on More Actions and from the drop-down options click the Delete button for the configuration
    Note: To update an existing configuration in the RADIUS inventory table, click on the Server Name Hyperlink, modify on RADIUS popup window and update the required details. Then click on Update.
  11. To disable a server configured, select the required RADIUS configuration, click on More Options>> Disable option from the dropdown to disable a configuration which is currently in the enabled status.
  12. To enable a server configured, select the required RADIUS configuration, click on More Options>> Enable option from the dropdown to enable a configuration that is currently in disabled status.
  13. (Optional) Repeat steps 2 through 11 to add more RADIUS servers to the system.
  14. (Optional) In the server inventory table, click and hold a server name and drag it up or down to change the order of RADIUS servers in use in the system.
