RADIUS Proxy

Cloudpath supports RADIUS proxy from an external RADIUS servers. For example, you can set up a configuration so that a certificate from a specific domain (@guest) is proxied to Cloudpath for authentication. When the external RADIUS server receives a RADIUS request from user@guest, the request is forwarded to the onboard RADIUS server.

This proxy configuration is set up on the external server.

To set up RADIUS Proxy on a Network Policy Server (NPS):

  1. Go to RADIUS Clients and Servers and add a Remote RADIUS Server Group. The group will have one member, the Cloudpath server. Enter the IP address and shared secret from NPS.
  2. Go to Connection Request Policies, add a policy for the RADIUS proxy. Add a Condition so that the NPS looks for the @guest in the username and, if found, forwards the request to the “remote radius group”, which is the Cloudpath server.
Cloudpath receives the request (similar to it coming straight from the access point) and responds.
