Backup Security

RADIUS Dictionary File

If you configure port server, CLI, VCLI, and PPP security to use Windows
NT domain names and passwords, and the ACP security server is not
available, the RAC uses its locally stored password parameters to restrict
user access. These parameters settings serve as backup security. To use
backup security, you must set the parameters listed in the following table.
For: Back up Security uses:
Port Server port_password
Incoming Port port_password
VCLI vcli_password
Included in the distribution kit is a reference RADIUS dictionary file
which resides in the security files area. The erpcd server does not use
this file; it is provided as documentation and a convenience. This file
defines keywords, types, and values for RADIUS attributes and their
corresponding code points. The file is in a format that is used as input by
some RADIUS servers to parse messages and write text output files.
Customers might have existing dictionaries with differences in the
keyword names, and may want to evaluate the impact to their databases
and output reports.
The file we provide includes the latest IETF definitions of the RADIUS
protocol at the time of release. It includes all attributes and values that
are needed to support our RAC and erpcd implementation. It is not
necessary that our definitions be used directly, but other dictionaries may
have to be extended to cover our usage.
