Remote RADIUS Server Settings

In this dialog you specify the settings of a remote RADIUS server to which ClearBox can forward authentication and/or accounting requests.

RADIUS Server ID. This is an arbitrary name given to the server at its creation and uniquely identifying it. No two remote servers may have equal IDs.

Server IP address. IP address of the remote server uniquely identifying it in the network. Click From DNS Name to resolve it from DNS server name.

Shared secret. The secret that this server 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 on and input another secret in the Accounting shared secret box if you need to maintain two distinct secrets to protect authentication and accounting client-server conversations.

Authentication server port. UDP port number on which the remote RADIUS listens to authentication requests.

Accounting server port. UDP port number on which the remote RADIUS server listens to accounting requests.

Forwarding retries. If ClearBox has issued a request to a remote server and doesn't receive a response within Wait for response before retrying time span, then it retries several times specified by this parameter until all attempts are exhausted. If this parameter is zero, then ClearBox tries only once for each request.

Maximum forwarding retries. If some realm is configured to forward a request to several remote servers, then ClearBox tries them in order. If it failed to receive a response from the remote server this number of times it switches to the next server in the list.

Apply Changes. Click this button after you have added new remote server or made changes to its settings.
