Access Pattern of RADIUS Servers in OpenVPN Access Server

Post by jamesp-brightpattern » Tue Jan 18, 2022 11:43 pm

Hi,

I've noticed that OpenVPN Access server allows you to configure up to 5 RADIUS servers to use for authentication.

How does this work? If I have 5 configured RADIUS servers in Access Server, when a user tries to authenticate will Access Server try to authenticate the user with the 1st RADIUS server, then if that fails try to authenticate with the 2nd one, and if that fails try to authenticate with the 3rd one, and so on, or does Access Server contacting a randomly-chosen RADIUS server in that list for every user authentication request?

Thank you,
James Pedersen
