HP-UX AAA Server A.08.01 administrator's guide (T1428-90072, May 2010)

• engine.config (all values except the certificate properties, which require a
server stop and start to be refreshed)
• las.conf
• EAP.authfile
• aaa.config.license
• sqlaccess.config
The aaa.config File
The aaa.config file contains keyword-value entries, one-per-line, which allows the
user to override compiled-in default values in the AAA server. The aaa.config file
can be used for performance tuning, debugging, or overriding built-in defaults.
IMPORTANT: Configuration files have maximum input line length of 255 characters.
No checking is done to ensure that a configuration statement has not exceeded this
limit.
You can include configuration data in multiple text files and load them at server startup.
For each text file, add a one-line entry to the aaa.config file according to the format
shown below:
include “File-name”
If File-name does not specify a path, the server will look for the file in the configuration
directory.
Syntax of a Keyword-Value Entry in the aaa.config file as shown below:
variable = value
NOTE: Any space or tab characters before the variable or surrounding the equal sign
character are ignored. Space and tab characters after the value may be considered part
of the value assigned to the variable.
Variables in the aaa.config File
Following lists the variables that you can modify in the aaa.config file:
The strict_duplicate_check Variable
This variable is used to change the behavior for detecting duplicate RADIUS packets.
To identify a RADIUS packet as duplicate the AAA Server checks the identifier, source
port, source IP address, and the packet length. This is the default behavior when the
strict_duplicate_checkvariable is “off”. This default behavior allows the AAA
Server to support a wider range of NASs.
When the strict_duplicate_check variable is enabled to “on” the AAA Server
also checks if the request authenticator is the same. Setting this variable to “on” results
in significant performance increase.
