Explanation
The installation of a RADIUS server (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) is primarily associated with the security concept of AAA, which stands for Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting. RADIUS servers are used to manage user credentials and permissions centrally, ensuring that only authenticated and authorized users can access network resources, and tracking user activity for accounting purposes. Authentication: Verifies the identity of a user or device. When a user tries to access a network, the RADIUS server checks their credentials (username and password) against a database. Authorization: Determines what an authenticated user is allowed to do. After authentication, the RADIUS server grants permissions based on predefined policies. Accounting: Tracks the consumption of network resources by users. This involves logging session details such as the duration of connections and the amount of data transferred.
