Access-Request (1)

By default, when it receives an incoming call, the MAX TNT first checks its local Connection profiles. If it doesn't find a Connection profile for the call, and you have configured the MAX TNT to communicate with RADIUS, the MAX TNT sends an Access-Request packet to the RADIUS server. The Access-Request packet includes the caller's name and password, and might also include the other attributes shown in Table C-1.

Table C-1. Access-Request attributes

Attribute

Description

Default value

Ascend-Send-Passwd (232)

Specifies the password the MAX TNT sends to the remote end of a connection on outgoing calls.

Null

Directs the system to encrypt the password when passing it between the RADIUS server and the MAX TNT on outgoing calls.

Null

Caller-Id (31)

Specifies the calling-party number, indicating the phone number of the user that wants to connect to the unit.

Null

Challenge-Response (3)

Specifies the password that a CHAP user enters in response to a password challenge.

Enables access providers to classify their user sessions for purposes such as billing users on the basis of the service option they choose. The Class attribute appears in Access-Request packets under CLID authentication.

Null

Client-Port-DNIS (30)

No restrictions on the type of protocol a link can use

NAS-Identifier (4)

Specifies the IP address of the MAX TNT.

0.0.0.0/0

NAS-Port (5)

Specifies the port on which the unit received a call.

Specified in the
/etc/services file

Access-Accept (2)

If the attribute values the MAX TNT submits to RADIUS match the attribute values in the user profile, the RADIUS server authenticates the call and returns an Access-Accept packet containing a list of attributes characterizing that user. Table C-2 lists the RADIUS attributes defined in IETF RFC 2058 and supported by the Ascend RADIUS daemon.

Change-Password (17)

When the user enters the new password, the MAX TNT sends an Access-Password-Request packet that contains both the old password (as the value of the Change-Password attribute), and the new password (as the value of the Password attribute).

If the RADIUS server accepts the new password, it tries to edit the users file and replace the expired password with the new one. Note that the RADIUS server can make this change in the user profile only in the flat file. It cannot make this change in the database version of the users file.

None (Attribute does not appear in a user profile.)

Class (25)

Enables access providers to classify their user sessions for purposes such as billing users on the basis of the service option they choose. If you include the Class attribute in the RADIUS user profile, the RADIUS server sends it to the MAX TNT in the Access-Accept packet when the session begins.
