The detail file is stored in a log directory called /var/opt/SUNWconn/ldap/radacct/ nasname, where nasname is the value of the common name (cn) attribute in the directory entry for the NAS. This information is logged separately for each NAS, in a log file called detail. You can keep statistics on a per user basis.Ī NAS can send accounting information about remote user connections to the RADIUS server. You can also use the RADIUS server to collect information about remote user connections.

The security mechanism is the same regardless of the connection protocol. Using RADIUS, you can keep a single source of authentication information in a directory and use it to authenticate remote users. The configuration shown in Figure 1.1 relies on security mechanisms provided by the connection protocol in use, for example PPP, to prevent unauthorized access to the network. It does this by carrying authentication, authorization and configuration information between a Network Access Server (NAS) and a RADIUS server.Ī NAS, also known as a Remote Access Server (RAS), is a device that provides an access point to a network for remote users connecting through remote access protocols such as telnet, ftp or PPP. The Remote Access Dialup User Service (RADIUS) protocol improves network security by providing a mechanism for authenticating remote users connecting to the network. This chapter contains the following sections: For configuration information, refer to Chapter 2, "Initializing and Configuring RADIUS." For information on installing the RADIUS server refer to Solaris Extensions Installation Guide. This chapter contains background information about the RADIUS protocol and about the RADIUS server provided with Solaris Extensions for Netscape Directory Server 4.11.
