Description
This article describes how to import a CSV file for a RADIUS client in FortiAuthenticator.
Scope
FortiAuthenticator.
Solution
If there is a list with more than 50 or 100 RADIUS clients in a CSV file format, it is possible to import them automatically without the need to add them manually in FortiAuthenticator.
Go to Authentication -> RADIUS service -> Clients and select 'Import'.
First, it is necessary to set the format for the CSV file; otherwise, it will show an error like the following while importing the CSV file.
It is also possible to edit the CSV file in Notepad++ to check if it is set to the correct format, as below :
Name: String (the same character restrictions as in the GUI).
Address: IP address, subnet, or IP range.
Secret: String (the same character restrictions as in the GUI).
Accept RADIUS accounting messages for usage enforcement: Boolean ('t' or 'f').
Support RADIUS Disconnect messages: Boolean ('t' or 'f').
Policy: Name of a RADIUS policy (optional).
It sets a combination of Unique IP and policy, IP range and policy, or Subnet and no policy.
For example:
The format with a Unique IP and no policy has been used as below.
Client_1,192.168.10.2,Mysecret123,t,t
Client_2,192.168.10.3,Mysecret123,t,t
Client_3,192.168.10.4,Mysecret123,t,t
If subnets are used, and no policy is used.
Client_1,192.168.10.2/24,Mysecret123,t,t
Client_2,192.168.11.3/24,Mysecret123,t,t
Client_3,192.168.12.4/24,Mysecret123,t,t
If Acct-Session-Id attribute in RADIUS Disconnect-Request needs to be included.
Client_1,192.168.10.2,Mysecret123,t,t,t
Client_2,192.168.10.3,Mysecret123,t,t,t
Client_3,192.168.10.4,Mysecret123,t,t,t
