Framed-Compression attribute to appear twice in the return list: once with the value VJ-TCP-IP-header-compression and once with the value IPX-header-compression.

Orderable Attributes

Certain multi-valued return list attributes are also orderable; that is, the attribute can appear more than once in a RADIUS response, and the order in which the attributes appear is important.

For example, the Reply-Messageattribute allows text messages to be sent back to the user for display. A multi-line message is sent by including this attribute multiple times in the return list, with each line of the message in its proper sequence.

System Assigned Values

Some attributes do not allow the administrator to set a value.

RSA RADIUS Server retrieves the appropriate values for these attributes when they are needed.

Echo Property

Using the echo property, you can force an attribute from the RADIUS request to be echoed in the RADIUS response. For example, you might add Callback-Numberto the return list and click the echo checkbox.

RSA RADIUS Server takes the value of the Callback-Number it receives in the RADIUS request and echoes it back to the client in the RADIUS response; if it receives no Callback-Number, it echoes nothing.

You enter Callback-Numberone or more times into the checklist. This indicates that one of the callback numbers you supplied must be present in the RADIUS request, and that number should be echoed in the RADIUS response.

Default Values

Choosing default for a checklist attribute specifies that, if the RADIUS request does not include this attribute, the request should not be rejected. Instead, the value supplied as the default should be used as if it were received as part of the request. One use for default values is to require that an attribute in a RADIUS request must have one of several values, or must not be present at all. Another use is to provide a default value for an attribute in conjunction with the echo property in the return list.
