Configuring the RADIUS client

Your RADIUS client must be configured to transmit authentication and accounting requests to the RADIUS server via RADIUS Agent.

Modify your RADIUS client configuration so that:

  • The RADIUS client sends authentication requests to machine and port on which RADIUS Agent listens for authentication requests. This is the Authentication Port specified during RADIUS Agent configuration.
  • The RADIUS client sends accounting requests to the machine and port on which RADIUS Agent listens for accounting requests. This is the Accounting Port specified during RADIUS Agent configuration.

The exact procedure for configuring a RADIUS client differs by client type. For details, see your RADIUS client documentation.

Note: The RADIUS client should include the attributes User-Name and Framed- IP-Address in authentication and accounting messages it sends. RADIUS Agent uses the values of these attributes to interpret and store user name/IP address pairs. If your RADIUS client does not generate this information by default, configure it to do so (see the RADIUS client documentation).
