The host
Basic authentication
Your Terminal Server will need to login to the authentication host with the log user name
defined on the Host Authentication And Logging screen. Therefore, you need to create an
account to be used by Terminal Server (avoid csh shell). Make sure the user can log in
successfully. Also, make sure the user is not prompted for any input and ends up at a shell
prompt.
User services authentication
This is used to provide services based upon the dial-in user’s name.
For example, user Mark always telnets to a specific IP address or user Alan needs to dial-in
and establish a PPP connection using a static IP address. This is accomplished by using a
PERL script which parses a RADIUS database. The PERL script ( RADparse) is on the CD or
our website.
RADIUS is the TCP/IP protocol used for authenticating remote dial-in users. Although
Terminal Server does not use RADIUS, a Perl based utility capable of using standard
RADIUS databases is available.
Otherwise, you can execute our PERL script during the user’s login. Under Unix, this script is
started from the etc/profile.
You then need to create a user database file. This is a sample file.
# Example of a PPP user with static address
alan Password
Framed-Protocol = PPP
Framed-Address = 204.17.209.1
# Example of a user with access to Terminal Server
CLI/Menu
techman Password
User-Service-Type = Shell-Use
# Example of a telnet user
mark Password
User-Service-Type = Login-User
Login-Host = 208.24.183.1
Login-Service = Telnet
