VPN 3000 and Radius authentication/authorization

[davide.barbato]

hello.

I have to configure RADIUS authentication

with a VPN 3000 concentrator.

I'm completely new with this product

(the concentrator).

It seems that, if I want to perform authentication

of username and password with Radius, then I also have to download the entire VPN configuration from the same Radius, using the attibute set loaded with the appropriate dictionary.

am I rigth with this supposition?

I mean: should be possible to authenticate only an username and password externally on RADIUS, while continuing to mantain the user (or group) VPN configuration locally in the concentrator?

thank you.

Davide

No, downloading the entire VPN configuration from the RADIUS server is not necessary. If you are new to configuring VPN's on concentrators or the Concentrator iself, having a look at the support page will be agood idea.
