To add a RADIUS server for remote authentication:
1.On the RADIUS page in the System Management Console, click on Add RADIUS Server.
2.In the Add RADIUS Server panel:
oIn the RADIUS Host field, type the hostname of the RADIUS server or the IP address that HCP uses to communicate with the RADIUS server.
If you specify the RADIUS server hostname, then at least one IPv4 or IPv6 address assigned to the RADIUS server must be routable from the [hcp_system] network.
If you specify an IPv4 or IPv6 address assigned to the RADIUS server, then that IP address must be routable from the [hcp_system] network.

Note: Optionally, if a RADIUS server has multiple IP addresses that are routable from the [hcp_system] network, you can configure multiple RADIUS server list entries for that server — one list entry for each routable IP address. |
oIn the Port field, type the number of the UDP port on which the RADIUS server listens for authentication requests from HCP. Typically, this is port number 1812.
oIn the Shared Secret field, type the text string that serves as a password for communications between HCP and the RADIUS server. The text string can contain any characters, including white space, and can be any length.
oIn the Retries field, type the number of times HCP should try again to contact the RADIUS server before giving up. Valid values are integers greater than or equal to zero.
oIn the Timeout field, type the number of seconds HCP should wait for a response from the RADIUS server before retrying the request. Valid values are integers greater than or equal to zero. A value of 0 tells HCP to wait indefinitely.
oFor the Protocol option, select the protocol the RADIUS server uses to authenticate users.
3.Click on the Add RADIUS Server button.

Tip: After adding a RADIUS server, test the connection to it, as described in Testing the connection to a RADIUS server. |
