Microsoft IAS Configuration - Adding New RADIUS Client

While the previous page touches on the switch configuration, this page will show you how the IAS server can be configured step by step to authenticate and to authorize users into the network.

If you do not know how to install an IAS server, step by step instructions can be found here:

The first step will be to add a new RADIUS client into your IAS.

Log into your IAS server and open up the IAS management console by going to "Administrative Tools", "Internet Authentication Service".

 

Right click on "RADIUS Client" and select "New RADIUS Client".

Enter a Friendly name to identify the switch you will be using as a RADIUS client as well as the switch IP and click next.

 In the "Client-Vendor" field, it is fine leaving it as "RADIUS Standard", however, the shared secret will be the key we configured into our switch in the previous page. This will allow the RADIUS server to switch to authenticate each other. Click"Finish" when done.

You should see the new RADIUS client profile you defined once you finish.
