Radius server groups

Hi,

Is it possible to add radius server groups in FortiOS? I can only see primary and secondary radius servers under one name?

 

Also I can bind multiple radius servers to user groups. With that will the users get authenticated from any of the linked radius servers?

 

Thanks,

Raj

    I guessing you want to group 2x radius servers for redundancy? I just wrote a blog entry providing examples of this;

     

    And on the 2nd question, yes the 2 radius servers could authenticate the user.

    Actually i have to add 3 radius servers for resiliency. I can see that two can be grouped but cant figure out how to use 3.

    Simple,  after you set the 1st server , the cfg will allow you to set the secondary, after setting the 2nd, the cfg will allow the  3rd

     

     

    e.g

     

    config user radius     edit "socpuppets_1plus1eq2.com"         set server "1.1.1.1"         set secret mysecrethere                 set secondary-server "1.1.1.2"         set secondary-secret mysecrete

            set tertiary-server '1.1.1.3         set tertiary-secret mysceretagainhere     next end
