Radius Authentication configuring switch x440 as a client in NPS-Windows Server 2008 Enterprise.

Helio_Jose_Erha — Thu, 25 Feb 2016 02:16:00 GMT

Good afternoon.
I trying to accomplish Radius authentication, configuring switch x440 as a client in NPS-Windows Server 2008 Enterprise.
How should the settings on XOS and the NPS?
We have already used successfully authenticating switches EOS.
I thank the support.

I was also looking for that as I'd need to test it in my lab.

Here a article that I've found - haven't tried it today as I run out of time....

Hi Helio,

If you need to authenticate the users to get access to manage the switch, you can use the commands below for the switch:

configure radius mgmt-access primary server client-ip {vr vr_name}
configure radius mgmt-access primary shared-secret
enable radius mgmt-access

For NPS, you can find an example in the GTAC Knowledge link below:

Hi Henrique,

The authentication is working, however the Active Directory user always gets RO permission. How to have RW permission?
No need something similar to Filter-Id, as used with EOS switches (Enterasys: version = 1: mgmt = rw)?

Thank you

Please take a look into this post - it includes a pdf link with screenshots of my working setup

https://community.extremenetworks.com/extreme/topics/microsoft-nps-server-vsa-configuration-for-extr...

Please doublecheck the settings and if it still doens't work post a screenshot of the Windows event log message of the authentication - I'd like to see whether the right network policy is choosen.

Thank you

Jose,

VSA 201 (Extreme-CLI-Authorization) set to Enable in Screenshot 2 forces EXOS to send each command to the RADIUS server for checking it against a profile to see if the user is authorized to issue that command or not. This feature is only available with a modified FreeRadius server.

Either delete this VSA or set it to 0 (Disable).

What you need to include in your user profile is the default Radius attribute Service-Type set to Administrative...

Hi Daniel,
Retired VSA.
Service-Type attribute is setted as Administrative, however it continues authentication as user USER. How to do to be authenticated as ADMIN?

Thanks..

RE: Radius Authentication configuring switch x440 as a client in NPS-Windows Server 2008 Enterprise.

Henrique — Wed, 16 Mar 2016 20:03:00 GMT

Can you try using "RADIUS Standard" for Network Access Server Vendor in "Vendor Specific Attribute Information" window instead of 1916 (Extreme vendor ID)?

Also, use "Administrative" attribute as mentioned by Daniel.

Hi Henrique,

Unsuccessfully.

Other any suggestions ?

Thanks

Hi Helio, just a confirmation.

Is Slot-1 Stack Master node?

Can you please send a show stacking output?

Helio_Jose_Erha — Wed, 16 Mar 2016 20:03:00 GMT

Hi Henrique,

Yes, slot-1 is master node.

Helio,

Did you restart NPS server? Changes don't usually take effect until you restart the server.

To stop it, right click on the NPS server name and select Stop NPS Service.

To restart, do the same but now the option will say Start NPS Service.
