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.
