Server Sessions

The HP-UX AAA server stores the session ID and other information about the session in an active session record when the server software engine receives an Accounting-Request to start a session. The currently active binary session record information is found in the session.las file, usually found in the /var/opt/aaa/data directory.

Using Server Manager to Retrieve Session Information

Selecting the Sessions link from Server Manager's Navigation Tree allows you to retrieve the active session information that is generated by running a a RADIUS server. None of the search filtering parameters are required. If no search parameters are specified, all active sessions will be retrieved.

The Session Attributes screen displays the following:

You can also stop a session from Session Attributes screen by selecting the Stop button.




	IMPORTANT: You can only stop a session on a server that contains a client entry that refers to itself, either as a localhost, domain name, or IP address. When you install the HP-UX AAA server, it automatically adds this entry to the server's configuration.
