5.1 Prerequisites to Configure eDirectory Users for RADIUS Authentication

5.1.1 Configuring iManager Plug-In for RADIUS

You need to configure the iManager plug-in with an SSL/TLS connection to eDirectory for RADIUS to work with the iManager plug-in. You can have the RADIUS iManager plug-in and iManager on same machine or on two different machines.

  • If you configure RADIUS iManager plug-in and iManager on same machine, then iManager is configured for SSL/TLS connection to eDirectory by default.

  • If you want to configure the RADIUS iManager plug-in and iManager on different machines, you need to manually configure the iManager for SSL/TLS connection to eDirectory. For more information, refer to the iManager 2.7 Administration Guide.
