RADIUS Client Settings

This dialog allows to set up a new RADIUS client sending requests to ClearBox Server.

Client ID. This is an arbitrary name given to the client at its creation and uniquely identifying it. No two clients may have equal IDs.

Client IP address. IP address of the RADIUS client, uniquely identifying it in the network. Click 'From DNS Name' to resolve it from the DNS client name. You may set 1.1.1.1 as the address to make this client match all incoming requests from any IP addresses.

Shared secret. A secret that this client shares with ClearBox Server. The secret should be chosen as a good password as it used to encrypt passwords and protect packets from being hacked.

IMPORTANT: Secrets are case-sensitive: upper- and lowercase letters make a difference!

Use another secret for accounting. Check this option and input another secret in the Accounting shared secret box if you need to have two distinct secrets to protect authentication and accounting client-server conversations.

Default realm. While a matching realm is selected by ClearBox basing on realm rules, it may happen that no matching realm is found to handle the request packet. ClearBox Server then looks at the client's default realm selected in this list. If there's none the server looks up then a realm marked 'default'. If it's not found, reject packet is issued back to the client. Only one realm may have this option turned on.

Apply Changes. Click to save the new client settings or save the changes made to its configuration.
