HP-UX AAA Server A.08.02.10 Administrator's Guide HP-UX 11i v3 (T1428-90093, November 2013)
11. Verify that your HP-UX AAA Server is installed and operating correctly by using the testing
user (named test_user) created during installation. After test_user is authenticated and
the AAA server sends an Access-Accept, the client sends an Accounting-Request to start the
session. After the session is terminated, the client sends an Accounting-Request stop message
to stop the session logging and the AAA server writes the session information to a file.
a. Enter the following command:
# /opt/aaa/bin/radpwtst -s localhost -i 192.0.2.0 -l test_user
This command simulates an Access-Request from port 1 of a NAS with an IP address of
192.0.2.0. When prompted for a password, enter: password. The command must return
the following output:
’test_user’ authentication OK
b. Enter the following command:
# /opt/aaa/bin/radpwtst -c 4 -s localhost -i 192.0.2.0 -l 1 -u
ppp -:Acct-Status-Type=Start test_user
This command simulates an Accounting-Request start message, activating the users’s PPP
session. The command must return the following output:
Accounting Response received
c. Enter the following command:
# /opt/aaa/bin/radpwtst -c 4 -s localhost -i 192.0.2.0 -l 1 -u
ppp -:Acct-Status-Type=Stop test_user
This command simulates an Accounting-Request stop message, terminating the users’s
session. The command must return the following output:
Accounting Response received
d. View the session logs for test_user’s start and stop accounting messages by selecting
Accounting in Server Manager’s navigation tree and clicking Display.
IMPORTANT: HP recommends removing test_user or changing it’s default password before
deploying the HP-UX AAA Server in a production environment. See “Securing the HP-UX AAA
Server” (page 43) for more information.
