Chapter 5 Customizing Your Configuration

Configuring Multiple UserLists

add beth telemarketing 123 TRUE PPP-users

Step 3 Repeat for the other users you want to add.

You can use the script, add-100-users, which is located in the /opt/CSCOar/examples/cli directory to automatically add 100 users.

Configuring Services

You must create a corresponding Service for each UserList. For example, when you create four UserLists, one for each section of the country, you must create four Services.

Creating Separate Services

Step 1 Use the cd command to change to Services:

cd /Radius/Services

Step 2 Use the add command to create a Service, specifying the name and optional description. The following example specifies the name North-users and the description All users from the northern branch office:

Caution add North-users "All users from the northern branch office"

Step 3 Use the cd command to change to North-users.

cd /Radius/Services/North-users

Step 4 Use the set command to set the type to local. Specify the name of the UserList you want Cisco AR to use. You can accept the default Outage Policy and MultipleServersPolicy or you can use the set command to change them. The following example sets the type to local and the UserList to North:

set type local

set UserList North

Step 5 Repeat for each Service you must create.

Creating the Script

You must write a script that looks at the username and chooses the Service to which to direct the request.

For example, you create four UserLists (North, South, East, and West), with the Service based on the origin of the user. When a user requests a Service, your script can strip off the origin in the request and use it to set the environment dictionary variables Authentication-Serviceand/or Authorization-Serviceto the name or names of the appropriate Service.
