How to Enable Self Service User Management in EZRADIUS
While we recommend using EAP-TLS for your RADIUS users, we understand that some devices might not support this protocol and you might have to fall back to passwords. If possible, we recommend using EAP-TTLs which can use your user passwords from Entra ID. However, if your networking gear (such as Meraki VPN) require other authentication methods such as PEAP-MSCHAPv2 or PAP, then you must use RADIUS local users, in this page we will guide you on how to setup self service user management for your users, allowing your users to manage their own passwords without help from your IT desk.
How to Enable Entra ID Self Service User Management in EZRADIUS
- Go to your EZRADIUS portal.

- By default the users will be able to create a user that will match their Entra ID User Principal Name (UPN) or Alias (the part before the @ symbol in their email address). You can select which of the two you want to use in the “Default User Name” dropdown. If you want your users to be able to create a user with a different username, you can select “Allow Custom Usernames” checkbox and they will be able to enter a custom username.
