The relationship of agent host record to RADIUS client in the Authentication Manager can 1 to 1, 1 to many or 1 to all (global).

SecurID Authentication Manager listens on ports UDP 1645 and UDP 1812.

  2. Browse to Authentication Clients > RADIUS > RADIUS Client > Add New and enter the Name, IP Address and Shared Secret.

    1. Enter a Client Name.

    2. Enter IPv4 Address . This is the IP of Pulse Connect user Login Server. See below.
