Configuring RADIUS Local and Remote Template Accounts in JUNOScope

The JUNOScope software uses local password authentication. You set up a username, password, and permissions for each user allowed to log in to JUNOScope.

However, when you use RADIUS authentication, you must set up single accounts (for authorization purposes) that are shared by a set of users. You create these accounts using the remote and local user template accounts.

A template account is a mapping between JUNOScope and the RADIUS server that allows RADIUS users to get the appropriate permissions. When a user with a RADIUS account logs in to JUNOScope, the software forwards the username and password to the RADIUS server for authentication. If authentication succeeds, the RADIUS server sends the Juniper-Local-User-Name attribute (if present for the user) to JUNOScope. Based on the received Juniper-Local-User-Name attribute and the configured template user accounts, JUNOScope determines the permissions for the user. The RADIUS account user gets the same permissions as the template user.

You set up template accounts the same way you create users in JUNOScope. To add a user in JUNOScope, see Adding a User. See also RADIUS User Login Scenarios .
