Securing Alteon

Backdoor Access

When both the primary and secondary authentication servers are not reachable, the administrator

has the option to allow backdoor access on a per user basis. This access is disabled by default and

must be activated for each individual user the administrator wishes to grant it to.

If a user cannot establish a connection to the RADIUS server, failover to the local backdoor

users are not permitted. This is done to avoid a DoS attack on RADIUS or Alteon allowing access.

The following command enables backdoor access for user 9:

>> Main# /cfg/sys/access/user/uid 9/backdoor e

The following command disables access for user 9:

>> Main# /cfg/sys/access/user/uid 9/backdoor d

Defining User Privileges in the RADIUS Dictionary

All user privileges, other than those assigned to the administrator, have to be defined in the RADIUS

dictionary. RADIUS attribute 6, which is built into all RADIUS servers, defines the administrator. The

filename of the dictionary is RADIUS vendor-dependent.

The following RADIUS attributes are defined for Alteon user privileges levels:

Username/Access

slbadmin + crtmng

l4admin + crtmng
