Splunk Apps » RADIUS Authentication

h1. Configuring RADIUS Authentication App

Below are the steps for configuring Splunk to use the RADIUS authentication app with a RADIUS server.

h2. Configure Your RADIUS Server

Before you configure Splunk, you'll need to setup your RADIUS server per the vendor's documentation. See [[Configuring_IAS]] if you are using IAS for instructions. 

h2. Configure Your RADIUS Server

You'll need the following information from your RADIUS server in order to configure Splunk:

 # Shared secret

 # RADIUS server address

 # _(optional)_ username and password of a valid account (so that you can verify the configuration before you save the settings)

Below are the steps to setup the app:

 # Install the "RADIUS Authentication app":http://splunk-base.splunk.com/apps/47339/radius-authentication

 # Open the setup app and configure the RADIUS authentication app (go to Manager » Apps » click "Set up" for the app "RADIUS Authentication"

 # Enter your RADIUS server settings and save the settings. Enter a sample user account in order to verify the configuration. The setup screen will not persist the settings if the test user account fails (which prevents saving a configuration that does not work).

 # Logout and test the configuration by logging into Splunk. Make sure to use an account that does not exist on the local Splunk install (local users will still authenticate).
