HP-UX AAA Server A.08.00.01 Administrator's Guide

The log_generated_request Variable
This variable turns the logging of internally generated packets on (or off) when they
are created, and when they reach their end-state. It is useful for a customized server
configuration that produces accounting requests based on internal state transitions
rather than on an externally delivered requests. Following is the syntax of the
log_generated_request variable:
log_generated_request=on
log_generated_request=off
The ourhostname Variable
This variable sets the interface (DNS name or IP address) that a multihomed server
would use. By default, the AAA server determines hostname by calling gethostname.
For multihomed hosts this call may not return the correct name for the interface that
the AAA server should use to send and listen for messages. Following is the syntax for
the ourhostname variable:
DNS host name: ourhostname=interface1.radius.server.net
Traditional IP (IPv4) address: ourhostname=192.0.2.0
IPv6 Address: ourhostname=fedc:ba98:7654:3210:fedc:ba98:7654:3210
CAUTION: If you configure an IPv6 address in the ourhostname variable, then
traditional IP (IPv4) hosts will not be able to send or receive messages. Similarly, if you
configure an IPv4 address here, then IPv6 hosts will not be able to send or receive
messages. If you configure a DNS name, then the first address returned by the DNS
server is used.
The packet_log Variable
This variable controls checks to match a current request with an original request, which
can occur when logging certain attributes in a request log (NAS-Identifier, NAS-Port,
User-Name, and so on). This check can cause an abort and core-dump if the +abort
option is given. This check is useful for tracking situations where a remote RADIUS
server is responding with incorrect values. In addition, it can also be used to investigate
if an AATV is corrupting the current request. Following is the syntax for the
packet_log variable:
packet_log=default
packet_log=clear (or none)
packet_log=+abort
packet_log=+both (or +comp)
packet_log=+current (or +cur)
packet_log=+original (or +orig)
packet_log=-abort
packet_log=-both (or -comp)
packet_log=-current (or -cur)
packet_log=-original (or -orig)
