Administration > User Authentication > RADIUS & SAM

SAM Prerequisite

In order to be able to use this authentication method, your network requires a Microsoft Windows NT or 2000

computer that contains the user information. This can be a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or an independent

server.

This server has a NETBIOS name (the NT/2000 server name) and an IP address.

1. Under the Administration menu, open User Authentication > RADUIS & SAM.

Domain Enter the name of your MS Windows NT/2000 domain into this field.

Accepted characters are: the alphabet, the numbers 0 to 9, the minus sign, and underscore.

Caution: This is not an Internet domain (e.g., Company.com) but a simple denominator (e.g.,

Intranet). If, instead of using the Microsoft domain concept, you only have a simple server,

then enter the NetBIOS name. This corresponds to the entry in the PDC name entry field.

PDC Name Enter the NETBIOS name of the primary domain controller into this field. As of Microsoft

Windows 2000, these names are also official DNS names. The RouteFinder only supports

names consisting of alphanumeric and minus and full-stop characters. Special characters

such as % ! # _ { } are not

permitted.

PDC IP Enter the IP address of the primary domain controller into this field.

BDC Name If you are using a backup domain controller, enter the name into this field. If you do not have

a backup domain controller, enter the PDC name again.

BDC IP Enter the IP address of the backup domain controller into this field. If you do not have a

backup domain controller, enter the PDC IP address again.

2. Confirm your entries by clicking the Save button.

Important Note: If you are using SAM authentication, you should deactivate the guest account of your Windows

domain. Otherwise all user/password combinations are counted as valid.

SAM

This authentication method uses an MS Windows NT/2000 domain controller or a standalone server to evaluate the

requests. Many businesses are already using MS Windows NT/2000 networks that are based on the MS Windows

NT/2000 active directory domain concept.

The advantage of SAM is that it is very easy to configure if there is already a PDC (Primary Domain Controller) or a

simple server with a user database running in the network.

The disadvantage is that this model cannot discern between different user groups and proxies. This means that you

can grant only all users or none of the users access to a particular proxy.

SAM Settings

Domain

Enter the domain name of the PDC/DC Domain.

Primary Domain Controller Name

Enter the address of the Backup Domain Controller.

Save

After entering the above parameters, click the Save button.
