Set Up the User Directory

You can authenticate RADIUS users using any user directory that is supported for the NT or UNIX platform you are using.

If the user directory contains information about user privileges, you can create responses using user attributes. When the user attributes are sent back to the RADIUS device, the attributes are used to configure the user session.

You can use the following directories:

• ODBC-enabled database
• NT Domain
• Netscape or NDS LDAP

Note: For specific information about setting up a user directory, see the Policy Design guide.
