This is the page where you can manage the RADIUS server's attributes. You can add, edit
or remove RADIUS attributes. If you want to add a new attribute you simply enter the name
of the attribute at the bottom line of the table and press the Save button. If you
want to delete an attribute you just press the Delete button next to the attribute
you want to delete. And if you want to edit an existing attribute you have to press the Edit
button, next to the attribute you want to edit.
The column Quote indicates whether the values of the attributes should be enclosed
in quotes or not. The Check Item column indicates whether the values of the
attributes are check items or reply items. If there is a check mark then the attribute is
a check item.
User profile attribute/value pairs are classified as either check-items or reply-items.
Check-items are attribute/value pairs RADIUS server compares to the attributes/values it
receives from a client to authenticate a user. Reply items are attribute/value pairs
RADIUS sends the client to authorize a link and services if authentication is successful.
If authentication fails, RADIUS server typically sends an attribute/value containing a
message about the authentication failure.
A users file may contain general comments about the file and separate comments about
individual user’s profiles. Each user profile contains one line of check-items for
authentication and, possibly, one or more lines of reply-items for authorization.
This is the format of the entries:
#Comment username password [, check-item]... reply-item, reply-item Here is a simple of what RODOPI will generate for a user whos name is Paul Durand, user name is aaadf, with registration # 878431080 and password - gdfgfd.
# 878431080 -- Paul Durand aaadf Password = "gdfgfd", NAS-Port-Type = Async Ascend-Idle-Limit = 1200, Framed-Protocol = dailin, User-Service = ppp
NOTE: You should have in mind that a line could not be longer than 255 characters, so limit the number of the "check item" attributes. If you want the values of a particular attribute to be written with quotes surrounding them you should check the check-box next to that attribute.
