Primary Authentication (Radius Scheme View) - HP FlexFabric 7900 Series Command Reference Manual

key { cipher | simple } string: Sets the shared key for secure communication with the primary RADIUS
accounting server.
cipher string: Sets a ciphertext shared key. The string argument is case sensitive.
•
In non-FIPS mode, the key is a string of 1 to 1 17 characters.
In FIPS mode, the key is a string of 15 to 1 17 characters.
• simple string: Sets a plaintext shared key. The string argument is case sensitive.
In non-FIPS mode, the key is a string of 1 to 64 characters.
In FIPS mode, the key is a string of 15 to 64 characters and must contain digits, uppercase letters,
lowercase letters, and special characters.
Usage guidelines
Make sure the port number and shared key settings of the primary RADIUS accounting server are the
same as those configured on the server.
Two accounting servers specified for a scheme, primary or secondary, cannot have identical IP address
and port number settings.
The shared key configured by using this command takes precedence over the shared key configured with
the key accounting command.
If you use the primary accounting command to modify or delete the primary accounting server to which
the device is sending a start-accounting request, communication with the primary server times out. The
device tries to communicate with an active server that has the highest priority for accounting.
If you remove an actively used accounting server, the device no longer sends users' real-time accounting
requests and stop-accounting requests. It does not buffer the stop-accounting requests. The device can
generate incorrect accounting results.
For security purposes, all shared keys, including shared keys configured in plain text, are saved in
ciphertext.
Examples
# Specify the primary accounting server with IP address 10.1 10.1.2, UDP port number 1813, and plaintext
shared key 123456TESTacct&! for RADIUS scheme radius1.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] radius scheme radius1
[Sysname-radius-radius1] primary accounting 10.110.1.2 1813 key simple 123456TESTacct&!
