Creating RADIUS Clients

You can use Administration Console to create a RADIUS client.

To create a RADIUS client:

Log in to Administration Console as a Global Administrator by using the following URL:
http://App_Server_Host_Name:Port_Number/arcotadmin/adminlogin.htm

In this URL, App_Server_Host_Name indicates the host name or the IP address of the application server where you configured Administration Console. Port_Number indicates the port at which the server listens to incoming requests.
You can add the RADIUS client at the global level or at an organization level. The page to add the client is the same, but the navigation to the page differs.
- To add a client at the global level:
  1. Activate the Services and Server Configurations tab.
  2. Activate the WebFort tab.
  3. In the left pane, click RADIUS Client.
- To add a client at the organization level:
  1. Activate the Organizations tab.
  2. Under the Manage Organizations section, click the Search Organization link to display the Search Organization page.
  3. Enter the complete or partial information of the organization you want to search and click the Search button.
  4. A list of organizations matching the search criteria is displayed.
  5. Under the Organization column, click the Organization_Name link for the required organization.
  6. The Organization Information page opens.
  7. Activate the WebFort Configuration tab.
  8. The organization-specific configuration links are displayed in the tasks pane.
  9. In the left pane, click RADIUS Client.
  The RADIUS Configuration page opens.
Click Add.
The page to add a RADIUS configuration opens. Provide information to add a RADIUS configuration, as described in the following table.

Parameter	Description
RADIUS Client IP Address	The IP Address of the RADIUS client using which users authenticate to CA AuthMinder RADIUS Server.
Shared Secret Key	The secret key that is shared between the RADIUS client and CA AuthMinder Server. Note: The minimum length of the key is 1 and the maximum length is 512 characters.
Description	A brief description of the RADIUS client. The description helps identify the RADIUS client, when multiple clients are configured.
Authentication Type	Select RADIUS OTP as the type of authentication that is used with VPNs.

Click Add to add the IP address of the new RADIUS client.
Note: The RADIUS Configuration page also displays the Existing RADIUS Clients table, using which you can update or delete the RADIUS client IP addresses.

You have created a RADIUS client.
For the changes to take effect, refresh the AuthMinder Server instance.

Important! After you configure AuthMinder Server, you must configure the Cisco IPSec VPN appliance to use AuthMinder as an authentication server over RADIUS. See the appropriate Cisco documentation for configuration details.
