APC UPS RADIUS AUTHENTICATION

colbysunday — Fri, 05 Mar 2021 18:05:14 GMT

I am running 2 PSNs in a PSN group behind F5 load balancer. I've configured RADIUS authentication for several other platforms without issue. When I'm attempting to configure RADIUS authentication for APC network management card 2, I never see the RADIUS request from the NMC2 in the live logs. I did a tcpdump on the F5 and I see the RADIUS access-request but nothing after that and the NMC2 web ui displays invalid user name or password. Anyone else seen anything similar?

You need to look at APC vendor suggestions on what is to be done on the radius side. ( for me it's MAC-based authentication).

There are some success stories with ACS, but basically, it is the same with ISE.

Yes, I've gone through all of the documents...should be pretty straight forward. Doesn't work.

@colbysunday I'm suffering from the same issue. Did you ever get this working?
