Their main products are NAS (Network Attached Storage) servers, which offer a wide range of functions such as file storage, media sharing, backup, and hosting network services.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.synology.com\/pl-pl\/dsm\/packages\/RadiusServer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RADIUS Server<\/a> is a package that runs on a server and supports the RADIUS protocol. It provides user authentication and authorization functions, and possibly accounting (recording information about user sessions). In Synology&#8217;s context, RADIUS Server is one of the features that can be configured on their NAS servers to centrally manage user authentication on the network. This makes integration with devices such as MikroTik possible, enabling effective access management in corporate or home networks.<\/p><h2>Preparation<\/h2><p>In order to prepare the tutorial, we will adopt an established domain name and certain configuration names, shown below. For customized configuration, apply settings according to individual requirements.<\/p><ul><li>Full domain name (FQDN) of Synology DSM: <strong>https:\/\/dsm.xyz.com<\/strong>,<\/li><li>Installed on Synology via Package Center: <strong>RADIUS Server<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ul><h3>Hardware<\/h3><ul><li>1x <a href=\"https:\/\/global.synologydownload.com\/download\/Document\/Hardware\/DataSheet\/DiskStation\/20-year\/DS920+\/plk\/Synology_DS920_Plus_Data_Sheet_plk.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Synology DS920+<\/a><\/li><li>1x Mikrotik <a href=\"https:\/\/mikrotik.com\/product\/rb5009upr_s_in\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RB5009UPr+S+IN<\/a><\/li><\/ul><h3>What is RADIUS?<\/h3><p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/pl.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/RADIUS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service)<\/a> protocol is a standard used in computer networks to authorize, authenticate and manage user access. It is mainly used to control access to the network by remote users who want to connect to it, for example via <a href=\"https:\/\/pl.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wirtualna_sie%C4%87_prywatna\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VPN (Virtual Private Network)<\/a>.<\/p><p>RADIUS enables central management of the authentication process, meaning that user credentials and access information are stored and managed on a central RADIUS server. As a result, network administrators can set up a single place where user login data and access rules are stored, making it easier to manage and ensuring consistency across the network.<\/p><p>In practice, when a user tries to connect to a network, such as through a VPN, the network device sends an authentication request to the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server checks this data in its database and then returns a response as to whether the user has permission to access or not. In addition, RADIUS allows for additional features such as managing access based on various criteria, logging user sessions and reporting network access data.<\/p><p>In short, RADIUS is a key component of the network infrastructure, enabling efficient management of user access and enhancing network security.<\/p><h3>RADIUS operation<\/h3><p>The operation of the RADIUS protocol is to centrally manage the authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA &#8211; Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) process of users in computer networks.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Authentication:<\/strong> When a user tries to access a network, e.g. via a VPN connection, their credentials (e.g. username and password) are sent to the RADIUS server by a network device (e.g. router, access point). The RADIUS server checks this data in its database or passes it to an external authentication source (such as an LDAP database), and then returns a response as to whether the authentication was successful or not.<\/li><li><strong>Authorization:<\/strong> Once a user is correctly authenticated, the RADIUS server decides whether the user has permission to access the requested resources on the network. Based on configured authorization rules, the RADIUS server determines which resources a user is allowed to use and under what conditions.<\/li><li><strong>Accounting:<\/strong> Optionally, the RADIUS server can keep records of users&#8217; activities on the network, such as the time and length of the session, the amount of data sent by the user, or other activity information. This data can be used for auditing, billing or network performance analysis.<\/li><\/ul><p>By centrally managing the authentication and authorization process, RADIUS enables administrators to effectively manage user access on the network. This is particularly useful in environments where there is a need to provide secure and consistent access for both local and remote users.<\/p><h3>Limitations of RADIUS Server on Synology<\/h3><p>The RADIUS Server application on Synology devices is mainly configured to authenticate users on the network, but does not offer full authorization functionality, i.e. deciding access to specific resources or services based on credentials. This means that the RADIUS Server application only verifies a user&#8217;s identity based on data from the user database, but does not determine the user&#8217;s authorization to use particular resources on the network.<\/p><p>In our case described here, where users were given access to the Mikrotik administration panel (WinBox), the use of RADIUS Server application on Synology devices would not provide proper authorization. Since the RADIUS Server application on Synology does not allow defining access privileges for individual users, all RADIUS-authenticated users would potentially have access to the administration panel as administrators.<\/p><p>Therefore, the RADIUS Server application on Synology in our case would be useful mainly for the administrator, who has full network management rights. On the other hand, for standard users who should not be able to access the Mikrotik administration panel as administrators, other authorization mechanisms would have to be used, such as creating separate user accounts with appropriate permissions on the Mikrotik.<\/p><h2>Step 1 &#8211; Configuration in Synology DSM<\/h2><ul><li><strong>Log in to the DSM interface<\/strong> &#8211; Open a web browser and log in to the administration panel on your Synology device, using the appropriate credentials (administrator account),<\/li><li><strong>Install RADIUS Server<\/strong> &#8211; After logging in, go to the Package Center (which is the central place to manage applications on Synology devices).
