What is RADIUS?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

RADIUS is an acronym that stands for Remote Authentication Dial In User Service. It\u2019s a protocol standard that\u2019s been around since 1991, hence the \u201cDial In\u201d part of the name. Even though very few of us use dial in for network connections today, RADIUS still enjoys wide use solving a particular type of problem; that of authenticating and authorizing users to login to a remote network.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why JumpCloud’s RADIUS?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Configuring and implementing Cloud RADIUS in your organization allows users to authenticate to WiFi using their JumpCloud credentials (username, email address, and password) without requiring a separate password. Cloud RADIUS improves the efficiency and security of WiFi access controls, with the added contingency to be able to revoke user access at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cloud RADIUS comes equipped with pre-built, pre-configured, scalable, and fully managed RADIUS servers, with the option to add as many additional RADIUS servers as you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RADIUS servers provide WiFi network access control, as well as authentication for VPN, devices, servers, and applications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> \n

Each RADIUS server provides control for a single WiFi network. If you want multiple WiFi networks, you will need multiple RADIUS servers.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Overall, Cloud RADIUS complements JumpCloud\u2019s suite of Directory services by providing an additional way to authenticate WiFi access control to many users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
