DESCRIPTION
You use a RADIUS authentication module when your authentication data is stored on a remote RADIUS server. In this case,
client credentials are based on basic HTTP authentication (that is, username and password).
To implement a RADIUS authentication module and create a RADIUS configuration object:
1. Use the radius-server component in the ltm auth module to configure a RADIUS server.
2. Use the radius component in the ltm auth module to create a RADIUS configuration object that references the RADIUS
server you created in Step 1.
3. Use the profile component in the ltm auth module to create an authentication profile in which you specify the following
options:
a. For the configuration option, specify the RADIUS configuration object that you created in Step 2.
b. For the defaults-from option, specify a parent profile (either the default RADIUS profile named radius or another
custom profile that you created).
EXAMPLES
create radius my_radius_auth servers add { myradiusserver }
Creates a RADIUS configuration object named my_radius_auth.
delete radius my_radius_auth
Deletes the RADIUS configuration object named my_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.
client-id
Sends a NAS-Identifier RADIUS attribute with string bar. If you do not specify a value for the client-id 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 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, delete, and modify.
partition
Displays the administrative 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 Local Traffic Manager 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 hostnames or IP addresses of the RADIUS servers that the BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager uses to obtain
authentication data.
