LCOS facilitates the configuration of the RADIUS attributes used to communicate with a RADIUS server (for authentication and accounting).
The attributes are specified by means of a semicolon-separated list of attribute numbers or names (as per RFC 2865, RFC 3162, RFC 4679, RFC 4818, RFC 7268) and a corresponding value in the following form.
<Attribute_1>=<Value_1>;<Attribute_2>=<Value_2>
- NAS-Port=1234 is not allowed, because the attribute is not unique (NAS-Port, NAS-Port-Id or NAS-Port-Type).
- NAS-Id=ABCD is allowed, because the attribute is unique (NAS-Identifier).
Attribute values can be used to specify names or RFC-compliant numbers. For the device , the specifications Service-Type=Framed and Service-Type=2 are identical.
Specifying a value in quotation marks ("<Value>") allows you to specify special characters such as spaces, semicolons or equals signs. The quotation mark in a value requires a leading backslash (\"), as does the backslash itself (\\).
The following variables are permitted as values:
- %n
- Device name
- %e
- Serial number of the device
- %%
- Percent sign
- %{name}
- Original name of the attribute as transferred by the RADIUS application. This allows attributes to be set with the original RADIUS attributes, for example: Called-Station-Id=%{NAS-Identifier} sets the attribute Called-Station-Id to the value with the attribute NAS-Identifier.
