    Option

    Function

    Name

    Name of the realm that must be mapped. This name does not have to be a DNS host name. However HP recommends that the realm name match a domain name. The user will then be able to recognize the user@realm syntax that resembles their email address.

    Realm Type

    Identifies whether the realm is an Authentication or Tunneling realm. Choose any of the following options according to your needs:

    • Authentication: Select this option if the realm is not going to be used for tunneling.

    • PEAP Tunnel: Select this option if the realm is the tunneling realm when using PEAP.

    • TTLS Tunnel: Select this option if the realm is the tunneling realm for TTLS.

    User Profile Storage

    To indicate the location where the AAA server must retrieve user profiles from:

    • The users file: Choose this option to store user information locally in AAA Server flat files. Choosing this option allows you to administer user information with Server Manager.

      NOTE: Server Manager can administer user information stored locally in AAA server flat files only.

    • LDAP, Oracle, OS Security Database, or SecurID / ACE server: For more information, see the individual chapters for each system in this guide.

    • No Store: EAP-TLS Certificates: If you are using TLS, you are not required to store user information because the TLS certificates provide the user information needed for authentication. Choose this option if you are using TLS and do not want to store user information.

    • No Store: Allow All Users: Choose this option to allow all requests from a realm.

    • No Store: Deny All Users: Choose this option to deny all requests from a realm.

    User Storage Parameters

    Identify the users file that you will populate with user profiles.

    Security Method

    Indicates the authentication methods to authenticate users from the realm. If you are using TTLS-PAP, TTLS-MSCHAP, or TTLS-CHAP, click Password Authentication. For all other methods, click EAP Authentication and choose at least one EAP method from the drop-down list.

    Alias

    An optional, paranthesized list of one or more aliases, delimited by commas. Each realm alias is equivalent to the realm name. An alias is provided for user convenience or other purposes, such as to save typing when logging on to your network. Aliases are allowed on wild card entries and are interpreted as meaning *.alias.

    Filter ID

    Allows the optional specification of a packet filter name to be associated with authentication through this realm name. It overrides any explicit filter name specified in a user profile.

    Session Tracking

    Determines if session tracking is enabled for a realm. When you enable session tracking, accounting records are generated for a realm and active sessions can be searched using the Session option on the navigation tree.

     

  4. To add a new realm, click Create to submit the new realm to the Server Manager.
    To return to the Realms screen without making any changes to your server configuration, click Cancel.
