Support for LDAP and RADIUS 
Since user accounts are now role-based, it is possible for system administrators to 
define a large number of users across an enterprise network. To address the 
accompanying issues, SR 5.0 supports the following protocols:  
 
Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) protocol, which is a 
client/server protocol that provides centralized Authentication, Authorization, 
and Accounting (AAA) service 
 
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), which is an application protocol 
that queries and modifies directory entries in a directory server
