Name field

Name for a RADIUS Agent.

Description field

Description for a RADIUS Agent.

Agent Type group box

The drop-down list shows the vendor type of the RADIUS device the Agent will protect.

Note: Generic RADIUS can be used to protect any type of RADIUS device, however, Generic RADIUS Agent types do not provide access to vendor-specific response attributes.

IP Address field

IP address or the host name of the RADIUS client (NAS device).

Shared Secret field

Alphanumeric shared secret used by the NAS device.

The shared secret is used for mutual authentication between the NAS device and the Policy Server. The secret must be between 1 and 255 characters in length and contain no embedded spaces.

Confirm Secret field

The shared secret re-entered.

Realm Hint Attribute field

Needed if a RADIUS Agent protects a NAS device that must authenticate users in different domains, such as mydomain.com and yourdomain.com. A realm hint is a RADIUS attribute that provides SiteMinder with information about the domain in which to authenticate the user.

For more information about realm hints, see the SiteMinder Policy Server Management Guide.
