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.
