User Types

There are five types of users in the RADIUS users file:

Login-User

Dialback-Login-User

Framed-User

Dialback-Framed-User

Outbound-User

Login-User

This is the same kind of user that the NETServer command line software would call a login user. Once the user name and password are authenticated, this kind of user is connected via a login service to the host or network specified in his or her RADIUS users file entry.

A Login-User entry must contain the following parameters: User-Name, Password, Login-Host, and Login Service.

Login-TCP-Port and Expiration are optional parameters.

For example:

annab Password=“dkt902d” User-Service-Type=Login-User, Login-Host=NY_Sales, Login-Service=PortMux

Dialback-Login-User

Unlike the NETServer command line, RADIUS defines a login user configured for dialback as a separate user type entirely. When a user ID and password are authenticated, the NETServer disconnects and dials users back, using a pre-defined telephone number. Once this connection is made, users are connected via a login service to the host or network specified in the RADIUS users file.

A Dialback-Login-User entry must contain the following parameters: User-Name, Password, Dialback-No, Login-Host, and Login Service.

Login-TCP-Port and Expiration are optional parameters.
