# RADIUS Settings

### RADIUS Settings 

The RADIUS Settings page in Skillmine Auth allows administrators to configure integration with an external RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server. \
This setup enables centralized authentication where user login requests are validated through the RADIUS server instead of locally ensuring secure, consistent, and policy-driven access control across connected systems. 

This page is mainly used to establish the connection parameters and authentication details required for Skillmine Auth to communicate securely with the RADIUS server. 

#### *Configuration* 

* **Navigate to:**  Settings → RADIUS Settings

* **Select Blueprint to Connect to RADIUS Server:** \
  Choose the **Blueprint** that will be connected to the RADIUS server.&#x20;

* Linking a blueprint ensures that the RADIUS configuration is applied to that specific authentication setup.&#x20;
* Enter **RADIUS Server Details** under **RADIUS Settings Configuration**:&#x20;
* **RADIUS Server URL:** \
  Enter the URL or IP address of your RADIUS server. \
  This is the endpoint Skillmine Auth will contact to validate user credentials.&#x20;
* **RADIUS Server Port:** \
  Specify the port used for communication with the RADIUS server. \
  The default and most common port for RADIUS authentication is 1812.&#x20;
* **RADIUS Shared Secret:** \
  Enter or generate the shared secret key used for secure communication between Skillmine Auth and the RADIUS server. \
  This shared secret ensures that both systems trust each other and encrypt transmitted authentication data.&#x20;
* Use the **Re-Generate** button to create a new secret if required.&#x20;
* The **copy icon** allows easy copying of the secret server configuration.&#x20;

* **Save Configuration:** \
  After entering all the required details, click Save to store the configuration. \
  Once saved, Skillmine Auth will start using this configuration for authentication requests that rely on the connected RADIUS server.&#x20;

#### *Audit and Monitoring*&#x20;

* Audit Trail Report Provides a comprehensive log of all RADIUS configuration activities, including changes to server details, ports, and shared secrets.  <br>

#### *Conclusion*&#x20;

The RADIUS Settings page provides all the necessary options to connect Skillmine Auth to a RADIUS server. \
By entering the server’s URL, port, and shared secret and linking the configuration to a blueprint, administrators can enable secure, centralized user authentication through an external RADIUS infrastructure. This ensures that user verification is handled consistently across connected services, strengthening both security and administrative control.&#x20;
