Radius authentication

Users can authenticate to Sectona using the RADIUS protocol. This integration works with user authentication to Sectona and transparently validates user authentication data from Radius server. 

About RADIUS Authentication

The Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) protocol was developed as an access server authentication and accounting protocol. RADIUS doesn't require individual confirmation of individual data packets. Issues related to server availability, retransmission, and timeouts are handled by the RADIUS-enabled devices rather than the transmission protocol. When a user requests connection with an Access-Request message with certain credentials which are then validated.
