588 CHAPTER 16: RADIUS AND SERVER GROUP COMMANDS
author-password password — Password used for authorization to a
RADIUS server for MAC users. Specify a password of up to
64 alphanumeric characters with no spaces or tabs.
Defaults — Default values are listed below:
auth-port — UDP port 1812
acct-port — UDP port 1813
timeout — 5 seconds
retransmit — 3 (the total number of attempts, including the first
attempt)
deadtime — 0 (zero) minutes (The WX switch does not designate
unresponsive RADIUS servers as unavailable.)
key — No key
encrypted-key — No key
author-password — When using RADIUS for authentication, a MAC
user’s MAC address is also used as the default authorization password
for that user, and no global authorization password is set. A last-resort
user’s default authorization password is
3Com.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0. The encrypted-key option
was added in Version 4.2.
Usage — For a given RADIUS server, the first instance of this command
must set both the server name and the IP address and can include any or
all of the other optional parameters. Subsequent instances of this
command can be used to set optional parameters for a given RADIUS
server.
To configure the server as a remote authenticator for the WX switch, you
must add it to a server group with the set server group command.
Do not use the same name for a RADIUS server and a RADIUS server
group.
