3.7 RADIUS Method Support Configuration

  1. Create a new authentication class with the following parameters:

    1. Display name: RADIUS Class

    2. Java class: Other

    3. Java class path: com.authasas.aucore.nam.method.radius.RadiusClass

  2. Create a new authentication method for the class:

    1. Display Name: RADIUS Method

    2. Class: RADIUS Class

    3. Keep the Overwrite Temporary User and Overwrite Real User check boxes cleared.

    4. Add the used user store to User Stores.

  3. Add applicable Optional Properties (KEY/Value).

  4. Create a new authentication contract for the method in the Configuration tab:

    1. Display name: RADIUS Contract

    2. URI: radiusandldap/uri

    3. Configure Methods. Select one of the following options:

      • Add only RADIUS Method from the Available Methods list. In this case the Identifies User check box must be selected. RADIUS Method will provide a request of LDAP Password. After user enters it, he/she will be asked to authenticate via RADIUS server.

      • Add any standard method from the Available Methods list as the first one and RADIUS Method as the second one. In this case the Identifies User check box should be obligatory cleared for RADIUS Method.

    4. Keep the Satisfiable by External Provider check box cleared.

  5. Specify applicable values for the new authentication card in the Authentication Card tab:

    1. ID: RADIUS_ID

    2. Text: NetIQ RADIUS Authentication

    3. Image : <Select Local Image>, then select NAM_RADIUS.png from the icons folder of the NAM plug-in distribution kit.

  6. Update both the IDP and the MAG.

  7. Update NAM Server configuration.

IMPORTANT:If RADIUS contract is configured to use only RADIUS method, it will be required to configure both Password & Radius Client (two-factor) and Radius Client (one-factor) chains in the Chains section (the two-factor chain must be higher than an appropriate one-factor chain) and enable them in the NAM event of the Advanced Authentication Administrative Portal. If RADIUS contract is configured to use combination of a standard method and RADIUS method, it will be required to configure and enable only Radius Client (one-factor) chain.

The following standard methods are supported by NAM plug-in:

  • Name/Password - Form

  • Name/Password - Basic

  • Secure Name/Password - Form

  • Secure Name/Password - Basic
