Configuring RADIUS Agent settings in the Forcepoint Security Manager

Use the Web > Settings > General > User Identification page to review and edit RADIUS Agent configuration information.

To edit settings for a RADIUS Agent instance:

Steps

  1. Use the Transparent Identification Agents table to select the IP address or host name of the RADIUS Agent instance that you want to configure.
    If you have installed a new RADIUS Agent instance that does not appear in the list, click Add Agent, then select RADIUS Agent from the drop-down list.
  2. Under Basic Agent Configuration, enter the RADIUS Agent IPv4 address or host name.
    Note:

    Hostnames must start with an alphabetical character (a-z), not a numeric or special character.

    Hostnames containing certain extended ASCII characters may not resolve properly. To avoid this issue, enter an IP address instead of a hostname.

  3. Enter the Port that RADIUS Agent should use to communicate with other web protection components. The default is 30800.
  4. To establish an authenticated connection between Filtering Service and RADIUS Agent, select Enable authentication, and then enter a Password for the connection.

Next steps

Next, customize global RADIUS Agent settings. By default, changes that you make here affect all RADIUS Agent instances. Settings marked with an asterisk (*), however, can be overridden in an agent’s configuration file to customize the behavior of that agent instance (see Custom configuration for a RADIUS Agent instance and RADIUS Agent initialization parameters).
