Splunk Apps » RADIUS Authentication

h1. Configuring Roles

By default, successfully authenticated users are assigned the "user" role. However, this can be overridden by creating a vendor specific attribute. The attribute should contain a string containing a colon or comma separated list of roles (like "admin:can_delete"). Re-run setup on the RADIUS auth app and configure the app to use the vendor code and vendor attribute ID you defined.

If you are not sure what the attribute ID and vendor code being provided by the server is, run the following search after authenticating to see what attributes the app is receiving:

    index=_internal "Received the following fields upon login" sourcetype="radius_auth"
