Chapter 10: Setting Up Authentication
Configuring authentication services
This window is used to configure RADIUS authentication on the Sidewinder
G2. Follow the steps below.
1 The Radius Servers table lists the RADIUS servers currently configured for
the Sidewinder G2. The columns indicate the following:
• Rank — Which server the Sidewinder G2 will try first.
• Host — The host (IP address) for each server entry.
• Port Number — The port number for each server entry. The default port
is 1812.
• Shared Secret — The text string or phrase that matches the shared
secret of the listed RADIUS server.
To configure the Radius Servers table, do one of the following:
• New—Click this button to create a new server entry. See “Adding or
modifying a RADIUS server entry” on page 293 for details.
• Modify—Click this button to modify the selected server entry. See
“Adding or modifying a RADIUS server entry” on page 293 for details.
• Delete—Click this button to remove the selected server entry.
2 In the Login Prompt field, type the login prompt that you want to appear
when a user authenticates using RADIUS (the default is Username:).
3 In the Password Prompt field, type the password prompt that you want to
appear when a user authenticates using RADIUS (the default is
Password:).
4 In the Failed Authentication Message field, type the message that you want
to display if the user incorrectly enters their authentication information (the
default is Login incorrect).
5 Click OK to save your changes before returning to the Authentication
Configuration window.
Note: If you want to use RADIUS authentication after it is configured, you must
also enable it in the Authentication Configuration window.
The RADIUS Configuration: Domain Controller Configuration window is used
to create a new or to modify an existing server entry. Follow the steps below.
1 In the IP Address field, type the IP address used by the RADIUS server.
Tip: If configuring SafeWord RemoteAccess authentication, the IP address is
that of the Microsoft RADIUS server running the SafeWord agent for IAS. See
the SafeWord product documentation for more information.
2 In the Port Number field, specify a port number used by the RADIUS
server. (The default port is 1812.)
3 In the Shared Secret field, type any text string or phrase. This must match
the Shared Secret defined on the RADIUS server.
4 Click Add to add the entry to the list of RADIUS servers, and then click
Close.
