Radius roles

Radius roles

Click View Radius Roles in the Authentication tab to configure the mapping between FortiPortal profiles and RADIUS roles. For each RADIUS role mapping, the window displays the Role Name, Role Type (Service Provider or Customer) and a list of FPC (FortiPortal) roles that map to the RADIUS role.

Caution

In previous versions, profiles were referred to as "roles". In the GUI, "roles" is still occasionally used, and is synonymous with "profiles".

The Radius Roles window contains the following options:

  • Create: Create a RADIUS role mapping.
  • Edit: Edit the selected RADIUS role mapping.
  • Delete: Delete one or more selected RADIUS role mappings.
  • Search: Search for RADIUS role mappings by name.
  • Show x entries: Limit the number of entries that are displayed at once (20 or 50).
  • Sort: Sort columns in ascending or descending order.
To create a RADIUS role mapping:
  1. Go to System > Settings > Authentication.
  2. Set Authentication Access to Remote.
  3. In the Remote Server dropdown, select Radius.
  4. Click View/Change Radius Roles.
  5. In the Radius Roles window, click Create.
