Configuring RADIUS settings

DataMiner users can be authenticated using a RADIUS server.

If a RADIUS server has been configured, the DataMiner Agent acts as a RADIUS client and passes the user credentials along to the RADIUS server, which will then authenticate the user. DataMiner also supports RADIUS challenges (see below).

To configure a RADIUS server:

  1. Go to the folder C:\Skyline DataMiner and open the - file.

  2. In DataMiner.xml, configure the <ExternalAuthentication> tag as illustrated in the example below:

    <DataMiner>
  <ExternalAuthentication type="RADIUS"
    host="IP address of RADIUS server" port="IP port of RADIUS server"
    sharedSecret="RADIUS server shared secret" />
</DataMiner>

  3. Save and close the file, and restart the DMA.

  4. Import the RADIUS users in DataMiner via LDAP. See Configuring LDAP settings.

When you have configured a RADIUS server:

  • All users will be authenticated through that RADIUS server.

  • The RADIUS server will respond to each logon attempt with an Accept, Reject, or Challenge response. In case of a Challenge response, additional user input must be sent in order to complete the authentication.
