When adding a new user profile to the server configuration,
or modifying an existing entry, you supply values for the user profile
attributes through the form in the Add / Modify Users screen. This
form is tabbed according to groups of attribute-value pairs. Initially,
the General tab is active. Use the other tabs to specify A-V pairs.
For more information, see “Tabs
on the Add Users Screen”. To add, or modify a user’s profile, complete the
following steps: From the navigation
tree, click Users. The Users screen appears as shown in Figure 9-1 “Server Manager’s Users Screen”. To add a new user, click the
icon
corresponding to the New user link. The Add Users screen appears
as shown in Figure 9-2 “The Add Users Screen”. Enter values in the form as per
the instructions in Table 9-1 “General Attributes in the Add User Screen”. Table 9-1 General Attributes in the Add User Screen Attribute Name | Description |
|---|
| User Name | Value to compare to the User-Name attribute
value in the request. It must be less than 64 characters. &, “,
~, \, /,%, $, ‘, and space characters cannot be
used. | Authentication Type | Use this field to supersede the Authentication
type specified in the user’s realm. Selecting Local will
use the authentication method specified by the user’s realm. | | Password and Confirm Password | Enter the password in the Password field. Enter
the same password in the Confirm Password to confirm it. | | Password Hashing Mechanism | Choose how you want to store user passwords
by selecting a hashing method. Select Plain Text to be compatible
with most client password hashing methods. If you prefer not to
use Plain Text, be sure the password storing mechanism you choose
is compatible with the client password hashing method. | | Service Type: Check/Reply | Indicates a type of provided service. When
used as a reply item, the server returns the value to the access device
as an instruction to determine the service to provide. When used
as a check item, the server will reject an Access-Request that does not include a hint for the specified
service type. | Session Timeout (optional) | Sets the maximum number of seconds of
service to be provided to the user before termination of the session
or prompt. | | Idle Timeout (optional) | Sets the maximum number of consecutive seconds
of idle connection allowed to the user before termination of the session
or prompt. | Filter ID (optional) | This attribute indicates the name of the filter
list for this user. Different attribute values can be used to add
more than one Filter-ID reply item to an entry. Identifying a filter
list by name allows the filter to be used on different NAS(s) without
regard to filter-list implementation details. | | Callback Number (optional) | This attribute indicates a dialing string
to be used for callback. | | Callback ID (optional) | This attribute indicates the name of
a place to be called, to be interpreted by the NAS. |
Click Create in
the User Attributes screen. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for each
user profile you wish to add to the realm. From the navigation tree, click
Save Configuration.
| | | |  | CAUTION: Clicking Save Configuration saves
the entire server configuration (access devices, proxies, local
realms, users, and server properties) to the servers you specify. | | | | |
Tabs
on the Add Users Screen | |
Each of the four tabs (General, NAS/Login, Framed, and Others) corresponds
to an attribute that can be used in a user profile as a check or
reply item. When specifying attribute values through these tabs,
all A-V pairs that ordinarily can be used as either check or reply
items in a server configuration are automatically added as a reply
item, unless the Free tab is used. Specifying
Attributes Using the Free Attributes PaneTo specify attributes using the Free Attributes pane, complete
the following steps: To access the Free
Attributes pane, click the Free tab. List A-V pairs one per line in
the syntax shown below: Click Create if
you are adding a new user profile. Click Modify if
you are modifying an existing user profile. Click Cancel to
return to the Users screen without making any changes. If each field contains a valid value, the profile will
be created or modified; otherwise, an error message is displayed.
