There are some steps you will need to follow in order to set up the RADIUS server to be used for back-end authentication:
Requirements
To complete the recommended steps, you will need:
- An installed RADIUS server.
- An administrator login for the RADIUS server.
Create RADIUS client records
Create a RADIUS client record within the RADIUS server for the machine on which the RADIUS Client Simulator will be running and the machine on which OneSpan Authentication Server Appliance is installed. Without this RADIUS client record, requests from the RADIUS Client Simulator will be rejected.
You will also need to create a RADIUS client record for the machine on which OneSpan Authentication Server is running. Without this RADIUS client record, proxied requests from OneSpan Authentication Server will be rejected
Create a user account
Create a user account in the RADIUS server, or identify an existing account that can be used, if preferred. Make sure this account has the necessary permissions so that a RADIUS access-request from both the RADIUS Client Simulator and from OneSpan Authentication Server Appliance will be accepted (given the correct password has been provided). Also, make sure this account has some RADIUS reply attributes.
Enable tracing
Depending on the RADIUS server product, some facilities will be available for tracing. This may be referred to as logging or debugging instead. If this is enabled, it will help to find out what is happening if the observed behavior is not as expected.
