Configure AuthMinder as the Proxy Server

Configure CA AuthMinder as the proxy server for a RADIUS server.

Note: Perform the procedure described in this section only if you want to configure CA AuthMinder as a RADIUS proxy.

Follow these steps:

1. Perform the following steps if you want to add RADIUS clients at the global level:
   1. Click the Services and Server Configurations tab on the main menu.
   2. Ensure that the CA Strong Authentication tab is selected.
2. Perform the following steps if you want to add RADIUS clients at the organization level:
   1. Click the Organizations tab.
   2. Search for the organization.
   3. Select the organization from the search results.
   4. Click the CA Strong Authentication tab.
3. Click RADIUS Proxy in the left pane.
4. Select Enable Proxy.
5. If you want multiple organizations to use CA AuthMinder as the proxy server for RADIUS, then select the Use Global Configuration check box.
6. Enter the following details of the RADIUS server in the Primary Proxy Server Details section:

   IP Address

   Specifies the IP address of the RADIUS server.

   RADIUS Port

   Specifies the port number on which the RADIUS server is listening.

   Shared Secret Key

   Specifies the secret key shared between the CA AuthMinder Server and the RADIUS server.

   Note: The minimum length of the key is 1, and the maximum is 512 characters.

   Description

   Specifies a string to describe the RADIUS server. The description helps to identify the RADIUS server, if multiple servers are configured.

   Read Timeout

   Specifies the maximum time in milliseconds for which the CA AuthMinder must wait for a response from the RADIUS server.

   Retry Count

   Specifies the number of times the CA AuthMinder Server must attempt to send the request to RADIUS server, if it does not receive a response.

7. In the Additional RADIUS Response Attributes section, specify the attributes that you want the CA AuthMinder Server to include in the request that it sends to the RADIUS server after successful authentication.

   Attribute ID

   Specifies a unique attribute identifier in this column. For example, 26.

   Attribute Value

   Specifies the value corresponding to the attribute ID. For example, a value corresponding to attribute identifier 26.

8. (Optional) Click Add More if you want to add more attributes.
9. (Optional) If you have configured an additional RADIUS server, then provide the details of that RADIUS server in the Backup Proxy Server Details section.

   CA AuthMinder forwards RADIUS authentication requests to this backup RADIUS server after the retry count (configured earlier) is exhausted.

10. Click Update to save the configuration.

    CA AuthMinder is configured as a proxy server for a RADIUS server.
