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.

       2. Use the radius component in the auth module to create a RADIUS
       configuration object that references the RADIUS server you created in
       the Step 1. For more information about creating a RADIUS configuration
       object, see help radius.

       3. To activate RADIUS authentication for BIG-IP system users, type the
       following command sequence: modify / auth source type radius

EXAMPLES
       create radius-server bigip_auth_radius_server secret "This is the
       secret." server 10.1.1.1

       Creates a RADIUS server component named bigip_auth_radius_server.

       delete radius-server bigip_auth_radius_server

       Deletes the RADIUS server component named bigip_auth_radius_server.

OPTIONS
       app-service
	    Specifies the name of the application service to which the RADIUS
	    server 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 server. Only the
	    application service can modify or delete the RADIUS server.

       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 in which the radius server resides.

       port Specifies the port for RADIUS authentication traffic. The default
	    value is 1812.

       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.

       secret
	    Specifies the secret key the system uses to encrypt and decrypt
	    packets sent from or received by the server. This option is
	    required.

       server
	    Specifies the host name or IP address of the RADIUS server. This
	    option is required.

       timeout
	    Specifies the timeout value in seconds. The default value is 3.
