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.
