Configure CA AuthMinder as RADIUS Proxy Server

You can configure CA AuthMinder as a proxy server to pass any password-based authentication requests to other servers that work on RADIUS protocol.

Note: Verify that the policy that is being used for authentication has either User Not Found or Credential Not Found selected in the Alternate Processing Options section.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Services and Server Configurations tab on the main menu.
2. Verify that the CA Strong Authentication tab in the submenu is active.
3. Under the RADIUS section, click the RADIUS Proxy link to display the corresponding page.
4. Select the Enable Proxy option.
5. Select the Use Global Configuration option if you want to use the configurations available at the global level.

   Note: This option is available only if you are performing organization-specific configuration.

6. Enter the details of the RADIUS server that processes the request in the Primary Proxy Server Details section, as follows:
   • IP Address: Specify the IP Address of the RADIUS server.
   • RADIUS Port: Specify the port number on which the RADIUS server is listening.
   • Shared Secret Key: Define the secret key shared between the RADIUS client and the RADIUS server.

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

   • Description: Enter a string to describe the RADIUS server. The description helps to identify the RADIUS server, if multiple servers are configured.
   • Read Timeout: Specify the maximum time in milliseconds to wait for a response from the RADIUS server.
   • Retry Count: Specify the number of times the CA AuthMinder Server should attempt to send the request to RADIUS server, if it does not receive the 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.

   Attribute ID: Enter a unique attribute identifier in this column. For example, 26.

   Attribute Value: Enter the value corresponding to the attribute ID. For example, value corresponding to attribute identifier 26.

8. Click Add More to add more attributes.
9. If you want to configure an additional RADIUS server, then provide the details of that server in the Backup Proxy Server Details section.
10. Click Update.
