What are the RADIUS settings?

Question

What are the RADIUS settings?

I've set up my OS X Server on my iMac successfully, and I'm using my AirPort Extreme as a RADIUS router. I understand that the server app automatically configures the router with the radius settings, but I want to also connect my airport express (as an extender) to my network and use the RADIUS settings. How do I find out these settings because if I look under the Airport Extreme's settings, the shared key isn't shown, it's dotted out. Where can I find this on the server app?! Thanks..

iMac, iOS 6.1.2

You will not find this in Server.app. Use this command in Terminal:

sudo serveradmin settings radius

This will reveal the key radius:naslist:_array_index:0:secret. That should be your shared secret.

In Server.app Apple have severely limited (aka. crippled) the RADIUS server feature. It now only works with AirPort base stations in a single specific configuration. It will therefore not work with the AirPort Express in extender mode.

It is however possible to do this by manually configuring the RADIUS software via the command line or installing and using an alternative RADIUS server package, e.g. http://www.periodiklabs.com/elektron
