13.28.5 Adding Clients

You can add one or more RADIUS clients details in the Clients section. The defined input, event selection, chain selection, and result specification rules gets applied to the RADIUS clients.

To add a RADIUS Client perform the following steps:

  1. Click Add.

  2. Specify the IP address of the RADIUS Client in IP Address.

  3. Specify the RADIUS Client name in Name.

  4. Specify the RADIUS Client secret and confirm the secret.

  5. Ensure that the RADIUS Client is set to ON.

  6. Enable the Require message Auth option to require the Message-Authenticator (MA) attribute for each configured RADIUS client message.

    If this option is set to ON and if the RADIUS client does not send the MA attribute, then Advanced Authentication ignores any message from the RADIUS client.

    If this option is set to OFF, then Advanced Authentication responds to any RADIUS messages regardless of the presence of the MA attribute in the message.

    By default, this option is set to ON for new configurations. For existing (upgraded) configurations, this option is set to OFF by default.

  7. Click next to the RADIUS Client to save the details.

The Clients section lists all the clients of different RADIUS Events. You can map all requests from a specific client to the required RADIUS event by defining the Event selection rule. For more information on how to create an event selection rule, see Event Selection Rule.
