DESCRIPTION
To authenticate BIG-IP system users when their authentication data is stored on a remote RADIUS server, you configure a
RADIUS server, configure a RADIUS configuration object that references that RADIUS server, and then activate RADIUS
authentication for the BIG-IP system. In this case, client credentials are based on basic HTTP authentication (that is,
user name and password).
To configure RADIUS authentication for the BIG-IP system:
1. Use the radius-server component in the auth module to configure a RADIUS server. For more information about creating a
RADIUS server, see help radius-server.
2. Use the radius component in the auth module to create a RADIUS configuration object that references the RADIUS server
you created in Step 1.
3. To activate RADIUS authentication for BIG-IP system users, type the following command sequence: modify / auth source
type radius
EXAMPLES
create radius bigip_radius_auth servers add {myradiusserver}
Creates a RADIUS configuration object named bigip_radius_auth.
delete radius bigip_radius_auth
Deletes the RADIUS configuration component named bigip_radius_auth.
OPTIONS
accounting-bug
Enables or disables validation of the accounting response vector. This option is necessary only on older servers. The
default value is disabled.
app-service
Specifies the name of the application service to which the RADIUS configuration object belongs. The default value is
none. Note: If the strict-updates option is enabled on the application service that owns the object, you cannot modify
or delete the RADIUS configuration object. Only the application service can modify or delete the RADIUS configuration
object.
client-id
Sends a NAS-Identifier RADIUS attribute with string bar. If you do not specify a value for this option, the system
uses the pluggable authentication module (PAM) service type. You can disable this feature by specifying a blank client
ID.
debug
Enables or disables syslog-ng debugging information at the LOG DEBUG level. F5 Networks does not recommend this option
for normal use. The default value is disabled.
description
User defined description.
glob Displays the items that match the glob expression. See help glob for a description of glob expression syntax.
name Specifies a unique name for the component. This option is required for the commands create and modify.
partition
Displays the partition within which the component resides.
regex
Displays the items that match the regular expression. The regular expression must be preceded by an at sign (@[regular
expression]) to indicate that the identifier is a regular expression. See help regex for a description of regular
expression syntax.
retries
Specifies the number of authentication retries that the BIG-IP local traffic management system allows before
authentication fails. The default value is 3.
service-type
Specifies the type of service used for the RADIUS server. The default is default, which behaves as authenticate-only.
servers
Specifies the host names or IP addresses of existing RADIUS servers that the BIG-IP system uses to obtain
authentication data.
