RADIUS Authorization

RADIUS authorization controls access to network services and applications, where attributes from an access request can be checked for existence in the LDAP directory. Furthermore, attributes that are included in the Access-Accept package can be used for provisioning.

Whenever the RADIUS server receives an access request from the E-series router or SAE, RADIUS queries the LDAP directory for RADIUS profiles. If all the parameters included in the access request are fulfilled, RADIUS sends an Access-Accept message to the E-series router or the SAE software, which might include all specified RADIUS parameters from the RADIUS profile stored in the LDAP directory. These parameters can be used for provisioning the E-series router.
