Introduction to AAA Server RADIUS Overview RADIUS Overview The Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) protocol is widely used and implemented to manage access to network services. It defines a standard for information exchange between a Network Access Server (NAS) and an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server for performing authentication, authorization, and accounting operations. A RADIUS AAA server can manage user profiles for authentication (verifying user name

Introduction to AAA Server RADIUS Overview Establishing a RADIUS Session The handling of a user request is series of message exchanges that attempts to provide the user with a network service by establishing a session for the user. This transaction can be described as a series of actions that exchange data packets containing information related to the request. Figure 1-2, Client-Server RADIUS Transaction, illustrates the details of the transaction between a RADIUS AAA server and a client (a NAS

Introduction to AAA Server RADIUS Overview If all conditions are met, the server will send an Access-Accept packet to the client; otherwise, the server will send an Access-Reject. An Access-Accept data packet often includes authorization information that specifies what services the user can access and other session information, such as a timeout value that will indicate when the user should be disconnected from the system. When the client receives an Access-Accept packet, it will generate an Acco

The NAS will then forward the challenge and the response in the Access-Request, which the AAA server will use to authenticate the user. • Microsoft Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP) is an implementation of the CHAP protocol that Microsoft created to authenticate remote Windows workstations. In most respects, MS-CHAP is identical to CHAP, but there are some differences. MS-CHAP is based on the

Introduction to AAA Server RADIUS Overview Shared Secret Encrypting the transmission of the User-Password in a request is accomplished by a shared secret. The shared secret is used to sign RADIUS data packets to ensure they are coming from a trusted source. The shared secret is also used to encrypt user passwords with certain authentication methods such as PAP. The HP-UX AAA Server uses the clients configuration file to associate a secret to each client (or server) that is authorized to make use o
