Configuring Properties for RADIUS Providers
The properties that you configure in this task are the default settings for all provider connections of this type
defined in Cisco UCS Manager. If an individual provider includes a setting for any of these properties, Cisco
UCS uses that setting and ignores the default setting.

Creating a RADIUS Provider
Cisco UCS Manager supports a maximum of 16 RADIUS providers.
Before You Begin
Perform the following configuration in the RADIUS server:
• Configure users with the attribute that holds the user role and locale information for Cisco UCS Manager.
You can choose whether to extend the RADIUS schema for this attribute. If you do not want to extend
the schema, use an existing RADIUS attribute to hold the Cisco UCS user roles and locales. If you prefer
to extend the schema, create a custom attribute, such as the cisco-avpair attribute.
The vendor ID for the Cisco RADIUS implementation is 009 and the vendor ID for the attribute is 001.
