HP-UX AAA Server A.08.02 Administrator's Guide

14 Managing Sessions
NOTE: This chapter does not apply to session management using the SQL Access feature. See
Chapter 22: “SQL Access” (page 247) for more information on session management using the SQL
Access feature.
This chapter covers two procedures: reading records of active sessions, and manually stopping
sessions.
Session Logs
After a user is successfully authenticated and the AAA server sends an Access-Accept, the access
device will send an Accounting-Request message to start the session. The AAA server stores
information about the session in an active session record. When the users session is terminated,
the client sends an Accounting-Request message to stop the session. When a AAA server receives
the stop message, it clears its active record for the session and writes the session information to a
file.
NOTE: This chapter does not apply to session management using the SQL Access feature. See
Chapter 22: “SQL Access” (page 247) for more information on session management using the SQL
Access feature.
HP recommends that you do not enable local session tracking for realms that are configured for
session management via the SQL Access feature.
