Send Auth=CACHE-TOKEN
Send PW=*SECURE*
The Send Auth parameter specifies the authentication mode requested by the
calling unit (CACHE-TOKEN). The Send PW password is sent as part of the
initial session negotiation. Then, the user is prompted for a token password to
authenticate the base channel of the call via CHAP. If the RADIUS server has
been configured correctly, it caches that encrypted password for the specified
period, or for the specified amount of idle time during the connection. When
channels are added to the call or when a new call is made, it uses the cached
password to authenticate the connection.
Configuring the Pipeline to recognize the APP Server utility
The Ascend Password Protocol (APP) Server utility lets users respond to token
password challenges received from a remote network access server (NAS) from a
PC or UNIX host on the local network. To enable the utility, you need to
configure the Pipeline to communicate with the host running APP. (For
information about obtaining and setting up the APP Server, see “APP Server
installation and setup” on page C-2.)
APP is a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) whose default port is 7001. The
communication between the Pipeline and the host running the APP Server may
be unicast, where both the Pipeline and the host have an IP address; or broadcast,
where the host may not have an IP address.
The parameters used to associate the APP server with the Pipeline are:
