Problem

You have completed the RADIUS v2 configuration and wish to disable the first of the two prompts during MFA - the one that asks the user to choose which method to use for the RADIUS MFA request.

Solution

Update the ‘AuthMethodPrompt' setting and set it to 'no’.

1. Navigate to the RADIUS v2 server (typically an Alpine Linux server running Docker).

2. Use a file transfer program (Filezilla, Winscp, etc.) to copy the following file to your local machine for editing:

   1. /usr/local/PortalGuard/config.zip

3. Extract the files.

4. Edit the following file in an administrative text editor:

   1. portalguard

      1. Note: there is no file extension for this file.

5. Locate the ‘AuthMethodPrompt’ setting and set the value to ‘no’.

   1. Before:

      AuthMethodPrompt = yes

   2. After:

      AuthMethodPrompt = no

6. Save the file.

7. Select all files in the ‘config’ folder and compress them to a zip file.

   1. Important: Ensure the files are not nested - inspecting the zip files should show all files visible under the initial ‘config.zip’ level.

8. Migrate this new config.zip file to the RADIUS v2 Linux server and place it in the following location:

   1. /usr/local/PortalGuard/

      1. Overwrite the existing folder as needed.

9. Within the RADIUS v2 Server, run the following command to restart RADIUS v2:

   1. pgrad-restart.sh

10. Test.
