Configuring IBM Verify Gateway for RADIUS for password authentication

In password authentication, the user provides only their IBM® Security Verify password.

Before you begin

The auth-method you set must match the authentication method you set for users in IBM Security Verify.

Procedure

  1. In the installation directory on your Windows system where you installed IBM Verify Gateway for RADIUS, edit the IbmRadiusConfig.json configuration file to set the auth-method to password:
    {
        "address":"::",
        "port":1812,
        "trace-file":"c:/directory-name/ibm-auth-api.log",
        "ibm-auth-api":{
            "client-id":"client-id",
            "client-secret":"client-secret",
            "protocol":"https",
            "host":"hostname.ice.ibmcloud.com",
            "port":443,
            "max-handles":16
        },
        "clients":[
            {
                "name":"hostname.company.com",
                "address": "ip-address",
                "secret":"your-secret",
                "auth-method":"password"
            },
  2. Save the changes.
  3. When the user logs in, they must use the IBM Security Verify password they chose, as described in Configuring IBM Security Verify Users.
