Configuring a FreeRADIUS Server

To configure a FreeRADIUS server, follow these steps:

  1. Modify the RADIUS server ‘clients.conf’ configuration file as follows:
    client junoscope.server.IPAddress  {
     secret = junoscope
     shortname = junoscope.server.name
    }
    

    Replace junoscope.server.IPAddress with the IP address of the JUNOscope software server to which you want users to log in. Replace junoscope with the shared secret between the RADIUS server and the client. Replace junoscope.server.name with the DNS name of the JUNOscope software server to which you want users to log in.

  2. Modify the RADIUS server 'dictionary.juniper' configuration file as follows:
    # Juniper Extensions
    ATTRIBUTE    Juniper-Local-User-Name         1       string  Juniper
    

    Where Juniper-Local-User-Name is a RADIUS vendor-specific attribute used by Juniper Networks.

  3. Modify the RADIUS server 'users' configuration file for maintaining the permitted users list. For example, to add user 'Edward' with password 'Edward' and local user template 'fritz', change the 'users' configuration file as follows:
    Edward Auth-type:=Local, User-Password = "Edward"
    Juniper-Local-User-Name = "fritz"
    

    The Juniper-Local-User-Name is optional.

  4. Modify the RADIUS server 'dictionary.juniper' configuration file as follows:
    VENDOR Juniper 2636 
    

    The Juniper Networks RADIUS Vendor ID attribute is 2636.
