Overview
The details of installing and configuring the RADIUS server software will depend on the Server you are
using. This Appendix covers the installation and configuration of the Windows 2000 RADIUS Server, but
regardless of the implementation, there are several items you must configure:
1. A list of authorized clients and their shared secrets: The RADIUS server must have the IP addresses

regardless of the implementation, there are several items you must configure:
1. A list of authorized clients and their shared secrets: The RADIUS server must have the IP addresses
of all authorized RADIUS clients. Along with each client's address is a secret. It is not critical what the
secret is as long as this same secret is also configured into the client (Dominion SX unit). The
RADIUS client and server use the secret to encrypt parts of the packets they send to each other and to
guarantee that the messages and replies are authentic. In Windows 2000 implementations, this file is
called clients. Please refer to Step D. in the Install and Configure the RADIUS Server for Windows
2000 section that follows for more information.

2. A list of authorized users and their configuration information: The RADIUS server must know
passwords, users, what these users are authorized to do after they log in. In Windows 2000
implementations, Administrators can use Active Users and Directory or Local Authentication to add
users. Information about the user is stored as a list of RADIUS protocol attributes and associated
values. These translate directly into the authentication reply the server will send back to the client.
