Configuring and Using Authentication

Authentication is the process of verifying a user's identity and determining whether the user has access to a system using credentials such as user name and password.

Session Monitor supports RADIUS authentication. When you enable RADIUS authentication, Session Monitor performs RADIUS authentication against a RADIUS server each time a user logs in.

When you configure RADIUS authentication, you must specify a shared secret that is shared by Session Monitor and the RADIUS server. The shared secret is used to validate that the RADIUS messages are sent between a RADIUS client and server that share the same secret.

See Operations Monitor User's Guide for more information about RADIUS authentication.
