How it connects
What you need
- Shared secret and test accountThe secret defined for this host on the RADIUS server, and an account created for monitoring.
Default port: 1812
Setup steps: Monitor a RADIUS server
On the RADIUS server, declare the DumbMonit host as a client, with a shared secret (clients.conf on FreeRADIUS, RADIUS Clients on Windows NPS).
Create a test account without a second factor, and note its name and password.
In DumbMonit, enter the server (UDP port 1812 by default), the shared secret and the test account.
Optional: change the NAS identifier if the server filters requests by it.
Heads-up. A wrong shared secret, or a host not declared as a client, usually makes the server stay silent: the check then reports a timeout.
