The User File

User file
A 8950 AAA user file is a text file that contains user profiles for users authorized to access
your network.
A user file contains one or more profile entries. Each entry is indexed by an index key. The
User-Name is typically used as the index key, but it is also possible to create entries
indexed by other data: real name, DNIS (Dialed Number), Realm, etc. Profiles with user
names as the index key are commonly referred to as user profiles while entries indexed by
some other attribute are often referred to as attributes sets.
In 8950 AAA, all user files are stored in the 8950 AAA run directory.
