TERMINAL SERVERS
When the Terminal Server is communicating with an ACCOUNTING
server, the MD5 algorithm is used to encrypt information and verify responses
from the ACCOUNTING server. The MD5 algorithm requires that a secret
(password) will be shared at both sides communicating with each other—the
Terminal Server and the ACCOUNTING server in this case. The secret is set
using the DEFINE ACCOUNTING SECRET command (see below). Please
note that this is not the user’s password, but a general password used to
secure the ACCOUNTING process itself. The secret is not displayed in SHOW
ACCOUNTING. The only way to verify its value is to re-enter the command.
ENABLED
Use the RADIUS protocol to record login and logout events.
DISABLED
Do not use the RADIUS accounting protocol. This is the default.
ACCOUNTING ADDRESS (privileged)
{SET
}
{DEFINE
}ACCOUNTING{PRIMARY
}ADDRESS
ip-address
{CHANGE
}
{ALTERNATE }
This privileged command specifies the addresses of the primary and alternate
RADIUS accounting servers. Once an accounting event occurs, the Terminal
Server will send an accounting request to the primary accounting server. If it
does not get an acknowledgement, it will retry it again. The timeout value and
the retries count can be configured with the ACCOUNTING TIMEOUT and
ACCOUNTING RETRIES commands. Once the retries has reached the limit,
the Terminal Server will try to access the alternate server and repeat the
process again.
PRIMARY
This parameter specifies that the address is configured for the PRIMARY
ACCOUNTING server.
ALTERNATE
This parameter specifies that the address is configured for the ALTERNATE
ACCOUNTING server.
ip-address
The Internet (IP) address of the accounting server.
