Known problems and limitations in HP-UX AAA Server A.08.02
This section describes the known problems and limitations of HP-UX AAA Server A.08.02.
Known problems
• HP-UX AAA Server cannot decode the binary values of OctetString attributes correctly.
Workaround: Use an AATV which converts binary value to ASCII string before decoding the
value of OctetString attributes.
• Statistics screen on the HP-UX AAA Server Manager displays incorrect statistics details when
log suppression feature is enabled.
Workaround: Use the command line utility /opt/aaa/bin/radcheck to obtain the correct
statistics details. The radcheck utility provides statistic information only if the HP-UX AAA Server
is operational and invoked from a host which is registered as a client to HP-UX AAA Server.
• HP-UX AAA Server is upgraded to use OpenSSL 0.9.8 libraries. This has resulted in
performance degradation with EAP methods on PA platform.
Workaround: None. If you encounter this problem, contact the HP support personnel.
