Connecting router to User Manager (radius server)

RouterOS The User Manager
1

Hi,
We have a radius server set up with user manager and we are trying to add a routeros router with hotspot setup to our radius server. The router is added onto the web interface for the radius, however we are unable to get the router talking to the radius server. How is this done?
Thanks,
Munsell

This link should help. You set the ip and secret for your usermanager on the client system.

Thanks for the link but we already went through all that and it was quite unhelpful.

You need to go through the following steps;

  • information about router at ‘Routers’ on the User Manager;
  • User Manager/RADIUS server should be added in ‘radius print’ configuration on the MikroTik Router;
  • Force HotSpot to use radius, ip hotspot profile use-radius=yes

Additionally if you have User Manager and HotSpot on the same router, then use 127.0.0.1 address,

I had exactly the same problems, but since I entered 127.0.0.1 as RADIUS-Server it works now.
