Configuring the RADIUS server

To configure the RADIUS server:
  1. In FortiMail, go to Profile > Authentication, select the RADIUS tab, and click New.
  2. Enter the details of the remote FortiAuthenticator:
    • In the Profile name field, enter a profile name.

    • In the Server name/IP field, enter the fully qualified name (FQDN) or IP address of a server that will be queried to authenticate email users if they authenticate to send email, or when they are accessing their personal quarantine.

    • In the Server port field, enter the port number on which the authentication server listens. For a RADIUS server, the port number is 1812.

    • In the Protocol dropdown, select an authentication scheme. Here, Password Authentication is selected.

    • In the Server secret field, enter the secret required by the RADIUS server.

      The secret is identical to the secret configured on the RADIUS server. Here, FortiAuthenticator.
