RADIUS Server Authentication Statistics

RADIUS Server Authentication Statistics

The Security Console displays authentication statistics for the RSA RADIUS servers in RSA Authentication Manager. Authentication statistics summarize the number of authentication acceptances and rejections, with summary totals for each type of rejection or retry.

The Security Console begins tracking the statistics after a RADIUS server starts. When an administrator restarts the RADIUS server, the Security Console clears the statistics and begins the tracking again. You can record statistics in RADIUS log files.

The following table describes the authentication statistics fields and the possible causes for some authentication rejections.
