RADIUS Configuration for R80.40

LostBoY — Mon, 30 Aug 2021 18:16:32 GMT

I am looking to configure RADIUS authentication for my r80.40 Smartconsole and GW cluster.. My question is if i enable RADIUS then will all local users loose access to Smartconsole ? i would like to keep local database working in parallel till i complete the migration.

Need help with configuration guide as well.

Thanks

You can have both types of users defined.

For Gaia:

For SmartConsole:

Hi,

to my experience you 'must' have both.

At least we could not manage to use RADIUS for SmartConsole without adding the admin account on the management station (Permission & Administrators). There seems to be no option to directly forward 'unknown/nonlocal admin accounts' to a RADIUS server.
