User authentication

Jelte Zeilstra edited this page Sep 14, 2015 · 1 revision

User authentication in Alexia is primarily through RADIUS. For fallback also the standard Django authentication can be used.

RADIUS authentication

To configure RADIUS authentication on the University of Twente, only the RADIUS_IDENTIFIER and RADIUS_SECRET settings must be set in local_settings.py.

To use another RADIUS server, also the RADIUS_HOST and maybe the RADIUS_PORT and RADIUS_DICT must be set.

Unknown users will be prompted for their first name, last name and email address after the first login.

Django authentication

Django authentication is by default enabled.

Passwords must be set using the admin panel.
