Adding a RADIUS User

Users who are authenticated by the RADIUS server must be created in the Commvault software before they can be authenticated. When you add a RADIUS user account, you can assign the account to the available user groups or leave the account unassigned.

Before You Begin

• You must have appropriate permissions to create an external user. For information on permissions, see Permissions and Permitted Actions by Feature.
• Add the RADIUS server. For information, see Adding a RADIUS Server.

Procedure

1. From the CommCell Browser, go to Security > Domains > radius_server_name, right-click Users and select New User.

   The New User Properties dialog box is displayed.

2. In the User Name box, enter the user name that will be sent to the RADIUS server for authentication.
3. In the Full Name field, enter the complete name of the user.
4. In the Email ID field, enter the user's email address.
5. To control the access of the user, do one of the following:
   • On the User Group tab, add the user to a user group and then create a security association on the user group.

     For information on creating security associations on a user group, see Administering the Security Associations of a User Group.

   • On the Associated Entities tab, create a security association.

     For information on creating security associations directly on a user, see Administering the Security Associations of a User.

6. Click OK.

Result

When RADIUS users log on, they must use the following format: RADIUS_server_name\user_name, for example, CVRAD1\jsmith. If two-factor authentication is enabled on the RADIUS server, users are presented with a log on window where they can enter a one-time password (OTP).
