Chapter 4: Setting Up Passwordless RADIUS Authentication

This chapter details the process for implementing Passwordless RADIUS Authentication.

Requirements

Procedure

  1. Log Into Your Cloud Services Instance

    Access your account by logging into the Clavister Cloud Services platform.

  2. Navigate to Add-ons

    Once logged in, find and click on the "Add-ons" section from the menu options.

  3. Select Passwordless RADIUS Authentication

    Within the Add-ons section, look for and click on "Passwordless RADIUS Authentication" to begin setting up your Passwordless RADIUS Authentication.

  4. Activate Through Configuration Wizard

    Follow the instructions provided by the configuration wizard to activate Passwordless RADIUS Authentication.

  5. Copy the Generated Secret

    During the setup process a secret key will be generated. Make sure you copy and securely store this secret as it will be necessary for configuring your NetWall.

  6. Wait for Activation or Return Later

    After completing the activation steps, you have two options:

    1. Wait for the Activation to Conclude

      If you opt to wait, stay on the deployment screen until the activation process is fully completed. This approach not only confirms that you can move forward with configuring your NetWall but also ensures you receive the configuration script. This script significantly simplifies the setup by automating the integration process, eliminating the need for manual configuration.

      It's important to note that this script is only available at the end of the deployment process and will not be offered if you navigate away and return to the page after deployment has finished.

    2. Come Back Later

      If you don't want to wait for activation, you can exit and go back to the Passwordless RADIUS Authentication page any time you want. When you return, you can get the extra connection details needed to set up your NetWall.

      [Note] Note: Drawback of leaving

      If you leave the page, you won't get the automatic setup script that makes things easier. This script is only given out right after activation finishes, so you'll have to set up your NetWall by hand.

  7. Configure Your NetWall

    With the generated secret and connection information in hand, proceed to configure your NetWall. This can be done in two ways:

    1. Manually

      Enter the connection details into your NetWall configuration manually.

    2. Using the Provided Script

      If you stayed on the deployment screen until the deployment finished, a script would be offered. This script automates the configuration process, simplifying the integration of your NetWall with the Passwordless RADIUS Authentication service.
