To set up a RADIUS DNS Vendor-Specific Attribute (VSA), follow these general steps:
-
Determine the RADIUS server software you are using:
Different RADIUS server software may have different methods and configurations for setting up VSAs. Make sure you are aware of the specific server software you are using.
-
Obtain the vendor-specific attribute details:
Contact the DNS vendor or consult their documentation to obtain the necessary information about the vendor-specific attribute. This typically includes the Vendor ID, Vendor-Specific Attribute ID, and the corresponding value format.
-
Access the RADIUS server configuration:
Log in to your RADIUS server’s administration interface or configuration files.
-
Locate the configuration file or section:
Depending on the RADIUS server software, the location of the configuration file or section for VSAs may vary. Refer to the server’s documentation to find the appropriate location.
-
Add the Vendor-Specific Attribute:
Within the configuration file or section, add the Vendor-Specific Attribute using the provided Vendor ID, Attribute ID, and value format.
-
Save and apply the configuration:
Save the changes to the configuration file and restart or apply the changes to the RADIUS server to make them take effect.
-
Test the VSA functionality:
Test the RADIUS server with a client that requests authentication and includes the Vendor-Specific Attribute in the RADIUS Access-Request packet. Verify that the RADIUS server correctly processes the attribute and responds accordingly.
Note: The exact steps and configuration process may vary depending on the specific RADIUS server software you are using. Make sure to consult the documentation or support resources provided by your RADIUS server vendor for accurate and detailed instructions tailored to your specific configuration.
