To configure a firewall to receive RADIUS accounting records from an SMA Appliance

1. On the firewall, go to the Users > Settings page.

   

2. Click Configure SSO.

   The SonicWall SSO Authentication Configuration page displays.

   

3. Select the RADIUS Accounting tab.

   

4. Select the Accounting Clients tab.

5. Click Add.

   The Settings tab appears.

   

6. In the Client host name or IP address field, enter the IP address or host name of the internal interface on the SMA appliance (RADIUS client) that is connected to the firewall (RADIUS server).

7. Enter the Shared Secret.

   The Shared Secret is a text string of your choice that serves as the password between the RADIUS client and the RADIUS server. This instance of the Shared Secret is for the firewall, which is acting as the RADIUS server. You will enter this same Shared Secret when you configure the SMA appliance.
