RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) is a client/server security protocol most widely known for enabling remote authentication and access. You can enable your network to use any authentication method that supports the RADIUS standard.-including token cards and smartcards-simply by installing and configuring the RADIUS adapter. The RADIUS authentication adapter requires you to set the following parameters:
Host Name
| The host name of your primary RADIUS server.
Default = localhost | ||
Port Number
| The listening port number of your primary RADIUS server.
Default = 1645 | ||
Timeout (seconds)
| The number of seconds the Oracle server will wait for a response from the
primary RADIUS server.
Default = 15 seconds | ||
Number of Retries
| The number of times the Oracle server should send messages to the primary
RADIUS server.
Default = 3 | ||
Secret File
| The file location of the secret key on the Oracle server. For security
reasons, Oracle recommends that you change this file to root access only.
| ||
Send Accounting
| RADIUS Accounting logs Oracle server access information and stores this
information in a file on the RADIIUS accounting server. You can use this feature only
when both your RADIUS authentication servers support this feature.
Values = ON or OFF. | ||
Challenge Response
| The value of this field is ON when you want to present the user with a
challenge-response GUI.
| ||
Default Keyword
| The keyword that verifies the identity of a user through a challenge-response
mechanism.
Default = challenge. | ||
Interface Class Name
| The name of the class that handles the challenge response conversation between
the Oracle client and the RADIUS server.
Default = DefaultRadiusInterface. |
