What is Radius Authentication Settings used for?

Radius authentication is used mainly by our library and ISP customers.  This feature is used for controlling the filtering levels of dial-up users. The Radius accounting server determines which accounts will be filtered and how they will be filtered. The user profile in the Radius accounting server holds the filter definition for the user.

Depending on your network setup, there may be more than one Radius accounting server.  Also there may be a client (Network Access Server or proxy server) that sends accounting request packets to the external Radius accounting server.

To access the Radius setting:

System -> Radius Authentication Settings
