RADIUS
Remote Authentication Dial-in User (RADIUS) is a user authentication and network-usage accounting system. When users connect to a server they type a user name and password. This information is passed to a RADIUS server, which authenticates the user and authorizes access to the network.
You can create or edit RADIUS server entries in the server list to support authentication of administrators. When an administrator account’s type is set to RADIUS, the FortiManager unit uses the RADIUS server to verify the administrator password at logon. The password is not stored on the FortiManager unit.
For information on configuring a TACACS+ server for remote administrator authentication, see RADIUS authentication for administrators.
To add a RADIUS server:
1. Go to System Settings > Admin > Remote Auth Server.
2. Select the Create New toolbar icon, then select RADIUS from the drop-down list. The New RADIUS Server window opens.

3. Select OK to save the new RADIUS server configuration.
TACACS+
TACACS+ allows a client to accept a user name and password and send a query to a TACACS+ authentication server. The server host determines whether to accept or deny the request and sends a response back that allows or denies network access to the user. The default TCP port for a TACACS+ server is 49.
