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

NAS-Identifier This attribute contains a string identifying the NAS originating the
Access-Request. Either the NAS -IP-Address, NAS-IPv6-Address, or the
NAS-Identifier must be present in an Access-Request.
NAS-Port This attribute indicates the physical port number of the NAS which is
authenticating the user.
NOTE: NAS port refers to a physical connection on the NAS, not a
TCP or UDP port number. If the NAS differentiates among its ports, either
NAS-Port or NAS-Port-Type or both should be present in an
Access-Request packet.
NAS-Port-Type This attribute indicates the type of the physical port of the NAS that is
authenticating the user. It may appear in an Access-Request instead of
or in addition to the NAS port attribute value. NAS-Port, NAS-Port-Type,
or NAS-Port-Id should be present in an Access-Request packet if the NAS
differentiates among its ports. Valid values for this attribute are:
• Async
• Sync
• ISDN-Sync
• ISDN-Async-V120
• ISDN-Async-V110
• Virtual
NAS-Port-Id This attribute is similar to the NAS-Port Attribute in that it indicates the
physical port number of the NAS that is authenticating the user.
NAS-Port-ID contains a text string that identifies the port of the NAS that
is authenticating the user. The text string is intended for use by NASs
that cannot conveniently number their ports.
Policy Attributes
These attributes are useful while specifying policy group conditions or replies. For information on
these attributes, see “Useful Attributes for Policy Conditions” (page 323)
Other Attributes
Called-Station-ID This attribute indicates where the user called to, using Dialed Number
Identification Service (DNIS), or similar technology. Note that this
may be different from the phone number the call comes in on.
Calling-Station-ID This attribute indicates where the user called from, using Automatic
Number Identification (ANI) or similar technology.
Connect-Info This attribute is sent from the NAS to indicate the nature of the user's
connection. The Connect-Info text field consists of UTF-8 encoded
10646 characters. The connection speed should be included at the
beginning of the first Connect-Info Attribute in the packet. If the
transmit and receive connection speeds differ, they may both be
included in the first attribute with the transmit speed first, a slash (/),
then the receive speed. Optionally other modem information may
also be included. See the following examples:
28800 V42BIS/LAPM 52000/31200 V90
Day-Of-Week A string, representing the day of the week (spelled out or three letter
abbreviation), or a number from 0 to 6, where 0 represents Sunday
and 6 represents Saturday. This attribute is compared to the current
