RADIUS Accounting

One of the most useful outputs provided

by

RADIUS server software is a real-time

list of active

RADIUS users.The snapshot of

user activity in Figure 3 displays the follow-

ing fields:

• Distinguished Name shows the full user

name which was used for the authen-

tication.If the user name is part of

NT

Domain directory services or NetWare

Directory Services

(NDS),or part of UNIX

Network Information Services (NIS),the

distinguished name is the

NT/NDS/NIS

common name or container object

name prepended with the user name.

• The

RADIUS server displays RADIUS

clients,either the RAS’s name or IP

address.

•

RAS Port shows the Remote Access

Server port number,which represents a

unique port number on the

RAS.

• Time contains the date and time at

which the connection was started,

according to the accounting transactions.

• Session

ID contains the unique session

key generated by the

RADIUS server.

RADIUS Accounting tracks the Authentication

and Authorization transactions from begin-

ning to end.

RADIUS Accounting captures

statistics about each session. For instance,

the accounting process allows a

RADIUS

server to track when users start and stop

their dial-in connections.

Using

RADIUS Accounting,the RADIUS server

can maintain:

• A history of all user dial-in sessions,

indicating start time,stop time,and

various statistics for the session

• A current User list indicating which

users are currently connected to which

Remote Access Servers

All Accounting transactions are logged to a

comma-delimited file that can be imported

into standard word processors,spread-

sheets,and database programs and can be

used to generate reports,and for billing.

Figure 3: RADIUS technology provides a

snapshot showing each current connection

made through all RAS devices.
