UNIX

The UNIX authentication option allows RADIUS to use the local system authentication method to authenticate the user.

To use local UNIX authentication, edit the radiusd.conf file's database_location field, or select UNIX in SMIT's Database Location field. This authentication method calls the UNIX authenticate() application program interface (API) to authenticate a user ID and password. Passwords are saved in the same data file that UNIX uses, such as /etc/passwords. User IDs and passwords are created using the mkuser command or through SMIT.

To use the UNIX database, select UNIX in the Database Location field as shown below:

	   Configure Server        

RADIUS Directory             /etc/radius
*Database Location           [UNIX]
Local AVL Database File Name [dbdata.bin]
