446 Configuring AAA for Network Users
320657-A
Assigning Authorization Attributes
Authorization attributes can be assigned to users in the local database or on remote servers. The attributes,
which include access control list (ACL) filters, VLAN membership, encryption type, session time-out period,
and other session characteristics, let you control how and when users access the network. When a user or
group is authenticated, the local database or RADIUS server passes the authorization attributes to WSS
Software to characterize the user’s session.
The VLAN attribute is required. WSS Software can authorize a user to access the network only if the VLAN
to place the user on is specified.
Table 32 on page 446 lists the authorization attributes supported by WSS Software. (For brief descriptions of
all the RADIUS attributes and Nortel vendor-specific attributes supported by WSS Software, as well as the
vendor ID and types for Nortel VSAs configured on a RADIUS server, see “Supported RADIUS Attributes,”
on page 599.)
Table 32: Authentication Attributes for Local Users
Attribute Description Valid Values
encryption-type Type of encryption required for
access by the client. Clients
who attempt to use an
unauthorized encryption
method are rejected.
One of the following numbers that identifies an
encryption algorithm:
• 1—AES_CCM (Advanced Encryption Standard
using Counter with CBC-MAC)
• 2—Reserved
• 4—TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)
• 8—WEP_104 (the default) (Wired-Equivalent
Privacy protocol using 104 bits of key strength)
• 16—WEP_40 (Wired-Equivalent Privacy
protocol using 40 bits of key strength)
• 32—NONE (no encryption)
• 64—Static WEP
In addition to these values, you can specify a sum of
them for a combination of allowed encryption types.
For example, to specify WEP_104 and WEP_40, use
24.
end-date Date and time after which the
user is no longer allowed to be
on the network.
Date and time, in the following format:
YY/MM/DD-HH:MM
You can use end-date alone or with start-date. You
also can use start-date, end-date, or both in
conjunction with time-of-day.
