Appendix A. Configuring the RADIUS Authentication

MFT supports authentication to a RADIUS server. This can be used to provide multi-factor authentication using tokens or security cards. You can configure RADIUS authentication through the web.xml file.

When configured, RADIUS authentication will replace all user ID and password authentications for the MFT instance, except for users configured in the RADIUS-SpecialUsers parameter in the web.xml file.

To configure RADIUS configuration, perform the following steps:

  1. Updating the Trace Settings
  2. Defining RADIUS Configuration Parameters
  3. Setting the RADIUS Primary and Backup Secrets
  4. Restarting the MFT Server
