Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a client/server protocol and software that enables remote access servers to communicate with a central server to authenticate dial-in users and authorize their access to the requested system or service. This chapter describes how to configure user authentication on a RADIUS server and in the JUNOScope software so that users with a RADIUS account can log in to the JUNOScope software.
The RADIUS system administrator configures one or more RADIUS servers to share user account information with the JUNOScope software. The JUNOScope software administrator, with superuser permissions, adds the RADIUS server host information in JUNOScope. The JUNOScope administrator then creates one or more template accounts in JUNOScope so that RADIUS users get the appropriate permissions after they log in.
