The past two weeks I’ve been looking into getting a juniper SA 4500 to work with Radiator to do two-factor authentication by using One-Time Passwords (OTP). Basicly, after user authentication is done against a Directory Server (DS), I want Radiator to lookup the user’s mobile number in the DS, create an One-Time Password and SMS this password to the user’s mobile phone.
Although Radiator can handle OTP, the AuthOTP.pm module that comes with Radiator isn’t sufficient to work directly with the Juniper. This is why I had to make a few changes to the original AuthOTP.pm module. Download the patch here.
In the configuration file below, you see an example on how to use the module.

Configure the Juniper SA 4500
Configuring two-factor authentication on the Juniper is really easy. When creating an user realm, you can choose to use an additional authentication server. So I configured two authentication servers. The first one authenticates against the Directory Server. The second authentication server uses radius to authenticate against Radiator. It will prompt the user to enter the One-Time Password.
Configure the additional Authentication Server
Create a new authentication server that uses RADIUS. Most important here are the ‘Custom Radius Rules’.
Custom Radius Rules
The custom radius rules define how the Juniper talks with Radiator.
Rule 1
Here we define that the Juniper expects a challenge from Radiator and makes sure the user will be prompted with a page where he can enter the password that was send to the user’s mobile phone.
Rule 2
This rule defines what to do if the password entered by the user is rejected by Radiator. It will show the reason why the password was rejected.
Configure an User-Realm
The screen below shows how easy it is to create an user realm that uses an additional authentication server. Make sure the session is ended when authentication to the additional authentication server fails.
Well, I hope this document will save you some time and money in setting up two-factor authentication on the Juniper SA 4500. Enjoy
