The HP-UX AAA Server can be configured to use IPv6 addresses
and support IPv6 attributes for most of the protocols and services
it supports. The HP-UX AAA Server currently supports only IPv4 for
Dynamic user IP address assignment using DHCP.
HP-UX AAA Server as a Client |
 |
Typically, the HP-UX AAA Server works in the server mode. It
receives requests from clients, processes them, and sends out appropriate
responses, based on the request type. However, under some circumstances,
it is desirable for the HP-UX AAA Server to perform client functions.
This functionality involves the ability to send HP-UX AAA Server-initiated
messages and assimilate responses. For example, it is advantageous
to have the HP-UX AAA Server disconnect sessions or change session
characteristics in real time, by sending Disconnect and Change-Of-Authorization (CoA) requests. Therefore, starting with the HP-UX AAA Server A.08.00.01
release, the HP-UX AAA Server also performs certain client functionalities.
