CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION AUTHENTICATION OPERATIONS

8e6 Authenticator configuration syntax

All configuration parameters, regardless of their source, will use the following format/syntax:

wAA[B]w{C}w

{Parameter ‘AA’ with Data ‘B’, and Comment ‘C’ ignored.}

w;DD[E]w{C}w

{The semicolon causes ‘DD[E]’ to be ignored, ‘C’ is also ignored.}

Whereas ‘AA’ is a two-letter, case-insensitive parameter name, ‘B’ is the value for this parameter wrapped in brackets ( [ ] ), and ‘w’ is zero or more white spaces (space, tab, carriage return, line feed). ‘C’ is completely ignored, and anything wrapped in braces ( { } ) is consid- ered a comment. A ‘;’ immediately preceding a param- eter will cause that parameter and its data to be ignored, which is convenient for temporarily reverting a parameter to default values during testing.

Sample command line parameters

authenticat.exe LF[c:\] ra[192.168.0.43]Rr[40000]

Sample configuration file

RA[100.10.101.30] { R3000 Virtual IP address } RP[139] { R3000 Port }

RH[30000] { Heartbeat timer (30 seconds) }

RR[30000] { Reconnect time (before connecting again) } RC[10000] { Connect Timeout (how long to wait for a connection

response) } LE[0]

LF[\\100.10.101.117\publogs\] { Where to put logs }

Sample R3000 configuration update packet ‘PCFG’

After decryption, with protocol headers removed:

RH[30000]RC[1000]LE[1]
