RADIUS Policy Server Character Sets

The appliance supports character encoding for RADIUS policy servers that use non-English character sets. The most recent version of the RADIUS specification (RFC2865) calls for all text fields to contain UTF-8 encoded characters. However, older versions of the RADIUS protocol define text fields as 7-bit US-ASCII. To support RADIUS servers that use an older version of the protocol, AMC enables you to select from a list of the most commonly used character sets, and also lets you enter other character sets.

To change the language setting for a RADIUS server

1. In the AMC, navigate to System Configuration > Authentication Servers.

2. In the Other Servers section, click Edit next to the RADIUS server you want to configure. (If you are configuring a RADIUS server in AMC for the first time, see Configuring RSA Server Authentication.)

3. On the Configure Authentication Server page, expand the Advanced area.

4. Under Locale encoding, do one of the following:

   

   • Choose a character set from the Selected list box (see Selected RADIUS Character Sets for the available character sets).

   • Click Other, and then type the name of a character set in the text box. See Other Supported RADIUS Character Sets for a list of those that can be entered.

5. Click Save.
