hello all I have rather strange problem. My RADIUS server is rejecting the authentication requests... but the ARC's (two of them) are letting users on online. The user in question is NOT in the users table. The same RADIUS server is working 'correctly' with PATTON 2800's and 2996's (you cannot connect with the 'disabled' accounts). For a starter here is sho radius RADIUS SETTINGS Fill Null Attributes : DISABLED Attribute Style: STANDARD Authentication Algorithm: ROUND_ROBIN Interim Accounting Interval Status: DISABLED Interim Accounting Interval: 240 seconds IEA Radius Source Port Authentication ENABLED IEA User Radius supplied username DISABLED Send Unauthenticated STOP record ENABLED Send Accounting records for default user: ENABLED Report Acct IP Addr only for Primary Link: DISABLED Send only STOP Acct for failed services: DISABLED Test the authentication locally via radtest: radtest jericho xxxxx localhost s1 xxxxx Sending request to server localhost, port 1812. radrecv: Reply from host 127.0.0.1 code=3, id=84, length=20 Access denied. yet TC gives me: HiPer>> _auth jericho xxxxx CLI - User: jericho is Authenticated But the radius server records the denial: Wed Sep 26 18:27:16 2001: Auth: unix_pass: [jericho]: invalid shell Wed Sep 26 18:27:16 2001: Auth: Login incorrect: [jericho/xxxxx] -- Paul Farber Farber Technology farber@admin.f-tech.net Ph 570-628-5303 Fax 570-628-5545 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
