RADIUS Users Settings

On the RADIUS Users tab you can specify what types of local or LDAP information to use in combination with RADIUS authentication. You can also define the default user group for RADIUS users.

Topics:
Configuring RADIUS User Settings
To configure the RADIUS user settings:
1
On the RADIUS Users tab, select Allow only users listed locally if only the users listed in the SonicWall database are authenticated using RADIUS.
2
Select Use SonicWall vendor-specific attribute on RADIUS server to apply a configured vendor-specific attribute from the RADIUS server. The attribute must provide the user group to which the user belongs.
Select Use RADIUS Filter-ID attribute on RADIUS server to apply a configured Filter-ID attribute from the RADIUS server. The attribute must provide the user group to which the user belongs.
Select Use LDAP to retrieve user group information to obtain the user group from the LDAP server. You can click the Configure button to set up LDAP if you have not already configured it or if you need to make a change. For information about configuring LDAP, see Configuring the SonicWall Appliance for LDAP.
For a shortcut for managing RADIUS user groups, check Memberships can be set locally by duplicating RADIUS user names. When you create users with the same name locally on the security appliance and manage their group memberships, the memberships in the RADIUS database will automatically change to mirror your local changes.
