Using RADIUS with IP Utilities
To use RADIUS authentication with an IP utility, you must configure the
RADIUS server so that it can recognize vendor-specific RADIUS clients.
• For Bay Networks servers, copy the bayrs.dct, vendor.ini, and dictiona.dcm
files from the distribution CD to the directory you define at installation time
(usually C:\RADIUS\Services). For more information, refer to Appendix D,
“Vendor-Specific Attributes” and the BaySecure Access Control
Administration Guide for your platform (UNIX, NetWare, or NT).
• For non-Bay servers, use the bayrs.dct file shown in Appendix D to modify
your existing RADIUS dictionary. Because the bayrs.dct file is in the format
of some popular RADIUS servers, you may be able to use it as a direct
replacement for the existing RADIUS dictionary. For more information, refer
to the vendor-specific server documentation.
The Bay Networks vendor ID is 1584, as allocated by the Internet Assigned
Numbers Authority. Use this ID in the VSA header.
For information on IP utilities, refer to Configuring IP Utilities.
RADIUS Accounting
You configure RADIUS accounting on a slot-by-slot basis. Therefore, a call
designated for a RADIUS-configured slot performs RADIUS accounting.
The RADIUS accounting server calculates billing charges for a communication
session between the remote user and the client. The RADIUS client sends
information to the server, such as the status of each call and the number of packets
transmitted during the session. Using this data, the server determines billing
charges, which the network administrator can use to manage network costs.
Note:
To use RADIUS with IP utilities such as FTP, NTP, HTTP, and Telnet,
your RADIUS server must support VSAs.
