Radius Dictionary File - Bay Networks Remote Annex User Manual

Chapter 4 Using Security Features

RADIUS Dictionary File

Included on the distribution kit is a reference RADIUS dictionary file
which will be placed 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 may have existing dictionaries with differences in the keyword
names, and may want to evaluate the impact to their databases and output
reports.
The file that 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 Remote Annex 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.
This file may be used as a reference to add or change existing RADIUS
dictionaries as need be. Since it is in the format of some of the popular
RADIUS servers, in some cases it may be used as a direct replacement.
However, the network manager should review the dependencies and make
a decision on how to apply the differences.
