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, user name and password).
To configure a RADIUS authentication module and create a RADIUS server:
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 component 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-server bigip_auth_radius_server secret "This is the
secret." server 10.1.1.1
Creates a RADIUS server named my_radius_server.
delete radius-server my_radius_server
Deletes the RADIUS server named my_radius_server.
