Table 13. Authentication Statistics (Continued)

Authentication

 

Statistic

Meaning

Silent Discards

 

The number of requests in which the client could not be

 

identified since the last time authentication statistics were

 

reset. This might occur if a RADIUS client entry cannot be

 

found for a device with the name and/or IP address of a

 

device requesting authentication services.

Total Transactions

 

The sum of the accept, reject, and silent discard totals

 

since the last time authentication statistics were reset.

 

 

Reject Details

 

Dropped Packet

The number of RADIUS authentication packets dropped by

 

RSA RADIUS Server because the server was flooded with

 

more packets than it could handle.

Invalid Request

 

The number of invalid RADIUS requests made.

 

A RADIUS client is sending incorrectly formed packets to

 

RSA RADIUS Server. Either the RADIUS client is

 

misconfigured, or the RADIUS client does not conform to

 

the RADIUS standard.

Failed Authentication

 

The number of failed authentication requests, where the

 

failure is due to invalid user ID or password.

 

If all transactions are failing authentication, the shared

 

secret configured on the RSA RADIUS Server does not

 

match the shared secret configured on the RADIUS client.

Failed on Checklist

 

The number of requests that were authenticated but failed

 

to meet the checklist requirements.

Insufficient Resources

 

The number of rejects due to a server resource problem.

 

 

Retries Received

 

Transactions Retried

The number of requests for which one or more duplicates

 

was received.

Total Retry Packets

 

The number of duplicate packets received.

 

 

Challenges

The number of challenges received.
