Which file is essential for integrating the Vault with a RADIUS server?

The integration of the Vault with a RADIUS server relies on specific configurations that determine how authentication requests are handled. The file that is essential for this integration is the dbparm.ini file. This configuration file contains parameters that define the behavior of the Vault in relation to external authentication mechanisms, including RADIUS.

In the context of RADIUS integration, dbparm.ini facilitates the communication between the Vault and the RADIUS server by specifying connection settings, timeout policies, and any necessary credential requirements. It ensures that the Vault can authenticate users effectively through the RADIUS protocol by managing the detailed interactions between systems.

While other files such as radius.conf, vaultconfig.ini, and auth_settings.ini may hold various configuration settings relevant to authentication or Vault operations, they do not specifically govern the interaction with a RADIUS server. Hence, the dbparm.ini file is considered the critical component for this integration, allowing for a successful link to be established between the CyberArk Vault and the RADIUS authentication requests.
