Authenticating Users by RADIUS Server

Instead of authenticating calls locally by the device, digest authentication of SIP users can be done by a RADIUS server (according to RFC 5090). In this way, the device offloads the MD5 calculation (validation) to a RADIUS server, where the device is classed as a RADIUS client.

To authenticate users by RADIUS server:
1. Open the RADIUS Servers table (Setup menu > IP Network tab > AAA Servers folder > RADIUS Servers), and then configure the RADIUS sever (IP address, port and shared secret password):

2. Configure the [SBCServerAuthMode] parameter to 1 to enable authentication by an RFC 5090 compliant RADIUS server.
