Managing Dial Services 21-15
Configuring Interactive Dial Requests
Configuring Interactive Dial Requests
Configuring for Interactive Dial-Back
The following example sets the access server to a predefined phone number:
Local> CHANGE DIALER AT_HOME PORT 1-16 IDENT "DIALS YOU AT HOME"
The dialer service AT_HOME is set up to allow any phone number to be dialed, but
the user’s security profile allows for a connection to be made using only one number.
The ports are all set up to be ACCESS DYNAMIC, so they can be used for dial-in and
also dial-back.
The user dials in, enters his user name and password, and is successfully authenticated.
As a result, the security component creates and maintains an authorization profile for
this user. This authorization profile, which is also known as the active user database,
contains among other things the phone number(s) that the user is authorized to use on
a dial-back request.
Security Profile Information
For more information about user security profiles, see the user accounts information in
the Determining Security Configuration section in Chapter 22.
Interactive Dial-Back (Dial Service) Example
The following example shows how the user specifies a dialer service and how the
service operates:
Local> DIAL AT_HOME
Local -019- Dial request queued, will be attempted in 30 seconds
Local> LOGOUT
Local -020- Logged out port 10 on server NAS700
In this example, the access server uses a security realm (RADIUS, or local profile) for
authorization when the user logs in. The user’s RADIUS/local profile is maintained
while the user is logged in. The profile is checked to see if the user is authorized for
dial-back. In this particular example, the authorization database has but a single phone
number that the access server would use when calling back this particular user.
