User Accounts and Remote Authentication
RADIUS
Complete the following fields to use a RADIUS server for authentication.
• Server — Enter the FQDN or IP address of the RADIUS server.
• Shared Secret — Enter the shared secret for the RADIUS server. A shared secret is a text
string that acts as a password between a RADIUS server and client. Choose a secure shared
secret of at least 8 characters in length, and include a mixture of upper and lowercase alphabetic
characters, numbers, and special characters such as the "@" symbol.
Note: When you add a RADIUS server, the administrator of the RADIUS server must
also list this ePrism Email Security Appliance as a client using the same shared secret.
All listed RADIUS servers must contain the same users and credentials.
• Timeout — Enter a timeout value to contact the RADIUS server.
• Retry — Enter the retry interval to contact the RADIUS server.
The server "This ePrism Email Security Appliance" will only be made accessible for mirror users.
See “Directory Users” on page 61 for more information on settings up mirrored accounts.
The other servers listed in the Accessible Servers option are configured via User Accounts ->
Secure WebMail. See “Secure WebMail” on page 160 for more detailed information on
configuring this feature.
