Test RADIUS Policies

To test RADIUS policies

1. Start the Test Tool.

   Important! If you are running a SiteMinder utility or executable on Windows Server 2008, be sure to open the command–line window with Administrator permissions, even if you are logged into the system as an Administrator. For more information, see the release notes for your SiteMinder component.

2. In the SiteMinder Agent group box, do the following:
   1. Select the RADIUS radio button.
   2. In the Secret field, enter the shared secret that was defined for the RADIUS agent in the SiteMinder Administration User Interface.
3. In the User Information group box, do the following:
   1. In the User field, enter the name of a user in the RADIUS user directory whose authentication will be tested.
   2. In the Password field, enter the user's password.
   3. Select the CHAP Password check box if you are using a RADIUS CHAP Authentication scheme.
4. In the Command group box, click IsAuthenticated.

The policy is tested and the response attributes appear in the Attributes group box.
