RADIUS

OneSpan Authentication Server can be used in a RADIUS environment in a number of ways, depending on your company's requirements.

In the RADIUS protocol, attributes are used for authorization and configuration of the remote access session in many cases. OneSpan Authentication Server can return authorization attributes from the user account. Alternatively, a separate RADIUS server can provide these attributes instead.

In many cases, a RADIUS client may be a dial-up network access server (NAS), firewall/VPN appliance, wireless access point (WAP), or another device that uses the RADIUS protocol for user authentication. Some software applications can also use RADIUS for authentication, and can therefore also act as RADIUS clients.
