The system sends user information to the RADIUS server and requests authentication of theuser and password. The RADIUS server returns one of the following responses:• Access-Accept — the RADIUS server authenticates the user.• Access-Reject — the RADIUS server does not authenticate the user.If an error occurs in the transmission or reception of RADIUS packets, you can view the error by enabling the debug radiuscommand.Transactions between the RADIUS server and the client are encrypted (the users’ passwords are not sent in plain text). RADIUSuses UDP as the transport protocol between the RADIUS server host and the client.For more information about RADIUS, refer to RFC 2865, Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service.744 Security
