Configuring RADIUS Servers (BUI)

Use the following procedure to configure Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance for use with RADIUS servers, and then enable the RADIUS service.

Caution:

Enabling the TLS protocol is highly recommended so that critical information is sent securely.

1. From the Configuration menu, select Services.
2. Under Directory Services, select RADIUS.
3. Select a transport protocol.

   • Require TLS – Use the TLS protocol to securely connect to the RADIUS server.

   • Unencrypted UDP (not recommended) – Use the UDP protocol to connect to the RADIUS server. The UDP protocol is not considered as secure as the TLS protocol.

   • Server Shared Secret – When adding a server that uses a UDP connection, enter the shared secret.

4. Configure the list of RADIUS servers.

   • Add Server:

     1. Click the add icon to the left of RADIUS Servers.
     2. In the New RADIUS Server dialog box, enter the server name or IP address and optionally the port number (after the colon). The server name can be a host name, such as hostname.example.com, an IPv4 address, or an IPv6 address.
     3. For a UDP connection, click APPLY.
     4. For a TLS connection, click APPLY. One of two dialog boxes is displayed: Either a dialog box confirms that the certificate is trusted and you click OK, or the Accept Server Certificate dialog box opens. Click either ACCEPT or REJECT for the certificate details. If you accept the certificate, it is added to the list of trusted certificates. For more information, see Configuring RADIUS Server Certificates.
     5. Click APPLY at the top of the RADIUS properties page.
   • Change Server Name, Port Number, IP Address:

     1. Click on the row of the server that you want to modify, and click the edit icon to the right of the row.
     2. In the Edit RADIUS Server dialog box, change the server name, port number or IP address.
     3. (Optional) Click Test Connection.
     4. When you are finished, click APPLY in the Edit RADIUS Server dialog box.
     5. Click APPLY at the top of the RADIUS properties page.
   • Remove Server:

     1. Click on the row of the server that you want to remove, and click the trash icon to the right of the row.
     2. When finished, click APPLY at the top of the RADIUS properties page.
5. Enable the RADIUS service.
   1. From the Configuration menu, select Services.
   2. Click the power icon for the RADIUS service to bring the service online .
