HP-UX AAA Server A.08.02 Administrator's Guide
There are two AATVs involved in pseudonym handling. One AATV performs the lookup and the
other performs the update. This section describes the following AATVs:
• “Pseudonym Database Update AATV” (page 190)
• “Pseudonym Database Lookup AATV” (page 191)
Pseudonym Database Update AATV
As a result of a full authentication, the database may require a new record for the pseudonym
information. If the database includes an existing set of pseudonym information, the information
needs to be updated or made invalid each time the HP-UX AAA Server assigns a new pseudonym.
Update AATV Inputs
The input to the Update AATV is the set of VSA on the AUTHREQ_REPLY_QUEUE list of the authreq.
Table 53 describes the Pseudonym Database Update AATV attributes.
Table 53 Vendor-Specific Attributes for Pseudonym Database Update AATV
DescriptionAttribute
A string attribute that contains the user's real identity. This identity
contains neither a prefix nor a realm. The identity can be an IMSI
Real-Username
constituting up to 15 decimal digits. If the HP-UX AAA Server is
configured to support non-IMSI real identities, the identity can be a
non-IMSI real username constituting up to 253 characters.
A string attribute that contains the user's real realm. This realm can
differ from the realm portion of the User-Name attribute value. If the
Real-Realm
AT_IDENTITY attribute contains only a username, but no realm, the
Real-Realm attribute contains an empty string value.
A string attribute that contains the value sent by the HP-UX AAA Server
during the current authentication. This value is also the value of the
Last-Assigned- Pseudonym-Username
next pseudonym. This username contains a pseudonym prefix, 2.
However, no realm is associated with it. The length of the identity,
including the prefix, can be up to 253 characters. If no new pseudonym
is assigned, the update AATV is not called.
A Unix epoch date attribute that contains the UTC time at which
Last-Assigned-Pseudonym-Username expires. This attribute is
Last-Assigned-Pseudonym-Expiration-Time
present only if the value of the
Last-Assigned-Pseudonym-Username attribute is present.
If the peer authenticated using a pseudonym, the
Last-Used-Pseudonym-Username attribute contains the pseudonym
Last-Used-Pseudonym- Username
value of the current authentication. This identity contains a pseudonym
prefix, 2. However, no realm is associated with it. The length of the
identity can be up to 253 characters. Otherwise, this attribute is not
present.
A Unix epoch date attribute that contains the UTC time at which
Last-Used-Pseudonym-Username expires. This attribute is present
Last-Used-Pseudonym-
Expiration-Time
only if the Last-Used-Pseudonym-Username attribute is present
and the database which maps the pseudonym to the Real-Username
attribute returns a Pseudonym-Expiration-Time VSA.
Update AATV Outputs
None of the attributes are returned by Update AATV.
AATV Functionality and Return Events
The pseudonym update AATV updates its database with the pseudonym information available in
the AUTHREQ_REPLY_QUEUE list of the authreq. The Update AATV must not modify the
AUTHREQ_REPLY_QUEUE list of the authreq. The result of the update can be either ACK or NAK.
