Duplicating a Validation server

Complete the following steps to quickly create a Validation server by duplicating an existing server.
To quickly set up a Validation server, you can create a duplicate an existing server. The new Validation server has the same vendor and application settings, as well as the same authentication mode.
  1. To create a duplicate Validation server:
  2. From the
    RADIUS Validation Server
    page of the
    Validation
    tab, click
    Duplicate
    in the
    Action
    column next to a Validation server that you want to copy.
  3. Edit the following fields, as required. You cannot change any other Validation server settings.
    Field
    Description
    Server Name
    Enter a name for the new validation server. The name must not include any spaces. The only characters that are allowed are numbers, letters, dashes (-), and underscores ( _ ).
    Port
    Enter the server port number (the default is 1812). If you have other processes (such as IAS on Windows, or a RADIUS server) running on port 1812, you must change the UDP port default or shut down the other server.
    RADIUS Shared Secret
    Enter the secret used by the Validation server. Client applications such as VPN gateways need this secret to connect to this Validation Server to authenticate the user.
    RADIUS Shared Secret must be from 7 through 32 characters in length and can contain alphanumeric characters.
    Confirm RADIUS Shared Secret
    Reenter the shared secret that you entered in the RADIUS Shared Secret field.
