RADIUS Attributes Reference
RADIUS Attributes
RADIUS clients and servers use attributes to exchange authentication,
authorization, and accounting information. The RAC supports most of
the attributes defined in IETF RFCs 2138 and 2139, as well as a number
of Bay Networks vendor-specific attributes (VSAs) and vendor-specific
enumerations of attributes (VSEs).
This document lists all the RADIUS attributes in numerical order,
indicating which attributes the RAC supports and which it does not.
Supported attributes are described, with each description containing:
•
A brief definition
•
Usage information
•
An indication of whether or not multiple instances of the
attribute are allowed in the same packet
•
Dependencies (if appropriate)
In the descriptions that follow:
•
Attribute numbers are enclosed in parentheses, for example,
Service-Type (6).
•
Enumeration numbers are enclosed in square brackets, for
example Login [1].
To use RADIUS, you must set the RAC auth_protocol
parameter to radius, which is not the default.
Once auth_protocol is set to radius, all RADIUS attribute and
enumeration values supersede RAC configuration parameter
values as well as values established in the ACP and
configuration files, except for the value set by the
address_origin parameter. This parameter setting determines
how addresses are assigned to local and remote peers.
For information on RAC configuration parameters, see the
Remote Access Concentrator Software Reference and Managing
Remote Access Concentrators Using Command Line Interfaces.
