F5 APM - Radius Authentication Fail

Hello friends,

 

Please, could you help me to understand how to integrate a Radius server with APM?

 

Currently, I have a VPN based on another devide which communicates to a Radius to authenticate users based on username, password and a Token RSA. I have disconnected such device and connected the LTM+APM appliance with the same IP. So, the Radius will get requests going from the same Ip address which was declared as client of the radius. The communication fails and I don't know why. I have put the correct shared key. The following capture shows that the connection is established (10.1.199.124 is the Self IP of the F5; 10.1.218.62 is the radius), but at the final stage the radius server reject the request

 

 

Please, could you tell me if I need to perform the following tasks?

Please, I will appreciate your prompt help.

 

Thanks and regards

    how have to set the APM up? which fields is the user supposed to enter? do you swap the value of the password with the token code?

     

    it depends on the exact setup, but usually you need to change the value of the password to that of the token before you send it to the radius server.

     

    i don't believe you have to follow sol11431, that is for something else.
