CHAPTER 4: CONSOLE FEATURES 55
RADIUS users are treated differently from local users only until authentication comes from the RADIUS
server. Once the RADIUS server authenticates a particular user, this RADIUS user enjoys the same
privileges as any other local user.
When RADIUS, LDAP, or TACACS are enabled, local user authentication is not provided. If the servers
are not reachable, then local user authentication is functional.
RADIUS Advantages
The RADIUS server has a single, unified “database” of users, allowing for authentication of user
names and passwords, as well as for configuration information detailing the type of service to deliver
to the user. There is no limit to the number of users; it can store as many users as its disk storage
permits.
If you are using many Dominion SX units, you do not have to configure all users on each of the units.
Configure a user once on your RADIUS server, then allow all Dominion SX units authenticate their
login requests from the same place.
RADIUS Configuration
Configure the unit for RADIUS as described in the Enabling RADIUS section that follows.
Configure your RADIUS server for the logon operation to be successful. The steps to configure a
RADIUS server are defined in Appendix D: RADIUS Server.
Log on to the unit as a RADIUS user.
