EmpowerID provides a RADIUS Server support for managing authentication and authorization of RADIUS devices. Doing so involves configuring the RADIUS device to remotely access EmpowerID, configuring EmpowerID for the remote RADIUS device, and configuring the EmpowerID Password Manager Policy for RADIUS.

This article demonstrates configuring EmpowerID for RADIUS by configuring EmpowerID for the Cisco ASA 5505 RADIUS device and covers how to:

• Configure Cisco server settings

• Configure EmpowerID RADIUS Settings

• Configure the EmpowerID Password Manager Policy for RADIUS
