Chapter 3 Cisco Access Registrar Scripts

Using Cisco AR Scripts

AuthorizeTelnet

AuthorizeTelnet is referenced from either the user record for users who’s sessions are always telnet or from the from the script AuthorizeService, which checks the request to determine which service is desired. This script merges in the Profile named "default-Telnet-users" into the response dictionary.

CabletronIncoming

CabletronIncoming maps Cabletron-proprietary attributes to Cisco Access Registrar’s global attribute space.

CabletronOutgoing

Use CabletronOutgoing to map Cisco-proprietary attributes from Cisco Access Registrar’s global attribute space to the appropriate Cabletron-proprietary attributes.

CiscoIncoming

Use CiscoIncoming to map Cisco-proprietary attributes to Cisco Access Registrar’s global attribute space.

CiscoOutgoing

Use CiscoOutgoing to map Cisco-proprietary attributes from Cisco Access Registrar’s global attribute space to the appropriate Cabletron-proprietary attributes.

CiscoWithODAPIncomingScript

Use CiscoWithODAPIncomingScript to map Cisco-proprietary attributes to Cisco Access Registrar’s global attribute space and to map ODAP requests to the appropriate services and session managers.

CiscoWithODAPIncomingScript checks the incoming NAS-Identifier sent by the client. If the NAS-Identifier does not equal odap-dhcp, the request is not an ODAP request. If the request is not an ODAP request, the script does no more ODAP-specific processing, and calls CiscoIncomingScript to allow it to process the request.

If the request is an ODAP request, CiscoWithODAPIncomingScript removes the NAS-Identifier attribute because it is no longer required. The script then sets the Authentication-Service and the Authorization-Service to odap-users and sets the Accounting-Service to odap-accounting.

ExecCLIDRule

ExecCLIDRule is referenced from the policy engine to determine the authentication and authorization service and policy based on the CLID set in the policy engine.
