opt/aaa/EAP.authfile.
HP recommends that you use the SQL Access AATV instead
of Oracle AATV, EAP-PEAP instead of EAP-LEAP, and OATH
standard-based authentication instead of SecurID authentication.
For information on how to configure SQL database based
authentication, see Chapter 22 “SQL Access”. For information
on how to configure OTP or Two-factor authentication, see
Chapter 16 “OATH Standards-Based OTP Authentication”.

Troubleshooting Bind Errors at HP-UX AAA Server Startup
This section describes how to troubleshoot problems when you cannot start the HP-UX
AAA Server because of bind errors.
If you are unable to start the HP-UX AAA Server, complete the following steps:
1. Check if the radiusd daemon is already running by entering the following
command:
# ps -ef |grep radiusd
If radiusd is running, the radiusd process must be displayed.
If the radiusd daemon is already running, you can stop and start the HP-UX
AAA Server from the Server Manager Administration utility or the command line.
For more information, see “Starting HP-UX AAA Servers Using Server Manager”
(page 74) or “Starting HP-UX AAA Servers From the Command Line” (page 77).
You can also continue with the HP-UX AAA Server instance that is already running.
2. Enter the following command to verify that the authentication and accounting
ports specified for the RADIUS service in /etc/services (entries for radius
