Portal Server User-Sync - HP HSR6600 Command Reference Manual

portal server user-sync

Use portal server user-sync to configure portal user information synchronization with a specific portal
server. When this function is configured, the device periodically checks and responds to the user
synchronization packet received from the specified portal server, so as to keep the consistency of the
online user information on the device and the portal server.
Use undo portal server user-sync to cancel the portal user information synchronization configuration with
the specified portal server.
Syntax
portal server server-name user-sync [ interval interval ] [ retry retries ]

Parameters
server-name: Name of a portal server, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 32 characters. The specified portal
server must have existed.
user-sync: Enables the portal user synchronization function.
interval interval: Specifies the interval at which the device checks the user synchronization packets. The
interval argument ranges from 60 to 3600 and defaults to 300, in seconds.
retry retries: Specifies the maximum number of consecutive failed checks. The retries argument ranges
from 1 to 5 and defaults to 4. If the access device finds that one of its users does not exist in the user
synchronization packets from the portal server within N consecutive probe intervals (N = retries), it
considers that the user does not exist on the portal server and logs the user off.
Usage guidelines
The user information synchronization function requires that a portal server supports the portal user
heartbeat function (currently only the IMC portal server supports portal user heartbeat). To implement the
portal user synchronization function, you also need to configure the user heartbeat function on the portal
server and make sure that the user heartbeat interval configured on the portal server is shorter than or
equal to the synchronization probe interval configured on the device.
Deleting a portal server on the device will delete the portal user synchronization configuration with the
portal server.
If you configure the user synchronization function for a portal server for multiple times, the last
configuration takes effect. If you do not specify an optional parameter, the default setting of the
parameter is used.
For redundant user information on the device—information of the users considered as nonexistent on the
portal server, the device deletes the information during the (N+1)th probe interval, where N equals to the
value of retries configured in the portal server user-sync command.
