Re: (RADIATOR) Duplicate login control using AscendSNMP

1999-07-15 Thread Mike McCauley

Thanks for that Hector,

Can anyone shed some light on how this MIB is supposed to work, and how it is
that the AscendSNMP code is suddenly not working for some Ascends? It looks a
bit like the relationship between the NAS-Port in the radius request is no
longer an exact map to the SNMP index.

I sure would like to fix this if anyone can tell me enough to do so.

Cheers.

 Hi all,

 Mike thanks for the help you gave me.
 This is the continuation of the problem of duplicate logins using
 AscendSNMP.
 I think I found out what happens, the problem is that the port number that
 radius gets is never correct.
 For example the logfile says...

 Session for wtpmfm at 207.41.108.20:20108 has gone away

 if I do an snmpwalk on the Max I can see that user "wtpmfm" is in the port
 93

 enterprises.529.12.2.1.3.93 = "wtpmfm"

 also, the port 20108 do not exists.
 if I do an "snmpget [ip] [community]
 iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.529.12.2.1.3.20108" I get:

 Error in packet
 Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.
 This name doesn't exist: enterprises.529.12.2.1.3.20108

 if I do an "snmpget [ip] [community]
 iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.529.12.2.1.3.93" I get:

 enterprises.529.12.2.1.3.93 = "wtpmfm"

 if I do an "snmpget [ip] [community]
 iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.529.12.2.1.3.96" I get:

 enterprises.529.12.2.1.3.96 = ""

 Maybe this means I should never receive the error of "noSuchName" because if
 someone had the "port" before then the answer should be blank.

 I hope this helps someone figure how the problem can be resolved.

 THANKS for your help.

   Hi Mike,
  
   The principal question I had is why when using AscendSNMP, when
   Radiator tries to see if some user is still conected, it almost always
 say
   "the user has gone away" when most times the user is still
 connected.so
   I can not control duplicate logins using that method. It would be very
 good
   if this worked, I think maybe I have something wrong here.
 
  Im sorry I misunderstood your question.
  If Radiator is concluding that the session has gone away even when it is
 still
  up, then there is definitely a problem.
 
  Can you confirm whether you get the "There is no such variable name in
 this
  MIB" error message even if the user is still online? If so, then either
 that
  SNMP MIB is not operating in your MAX, or there is some other problem. Can
 you
  check that please? I guess you have checked that your comminity is
 correct.
 
  The next time you see one of these, would you please try runnin ghte
 snmpget by
  hand like this:
  snmpget xx.xx.xx.xx community
  .iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.529.12.2.1.3.portnumber
 
 
 
 
   AscendSNMP works
   with Ascend Max TNT's also?
  Yes.
   Does Radiator needs SNMP write access?
  No.
 
   Does ucd-snmp need any special
   tunning or MIB?
  Not usually, just the standard MIBs that get installed with ucd-snmp.
 
 
  I hope we can help you fix this problem quickly, but please post your
  correspondence to the mailing list: Im not the only one working on this
 for
  you.
 
  Cheers.
 
  
   This is the output in the logfile when that happens:
  
   DEBUG: Checking if user is still online: AscendSNMP, test,
 209.91.199.11,
   20219, 275607700
   DEBUG: Child reaped
   DEBUG: Session for test at 209.91.199.11:20219 has gone away

   Hi Hector,
   
   Yes, I would probably expect to see the SNMP error you mentioned if the
   user
   had actually disconnected.
   
   With the Timestamp error, could you post some more information about
 when
   you
   see this error. Perhaps more of the logfile, including the incoming
 packet
   dumps, and the rest of your config file (no secrets).
   
   Cheers.

Hi,
   
I am trying to set up Radiator to control duplicate logins. I

I have this in my config file for testing it:

(RADIATOR) Duplicate login control using AscendSNMP

1999-07-14 Thread Hector Lopez

Hi,

I am trying to set up Radiator to control duplicate logins. I only
have read access for Radiator in my Max and TNTs.

I have this in my config file for testing it:

SnmpgetProg/usr/bin/snmpget
Client DEFAULT
Secret"mysecret"
DupInterval   0
NasTypeAscendSNMP
SNMPCommunity"mycommunity"
/Client
# I am sharing the online directory between two radiator servers
SessionDatabase DBM
 Filename%D/online/online
/SessionDatabase DBM
Realm
 MaxSessions1
 ...
 ...
 ...
/Realm


In the logfile (debug) I see this:

DEBUG: Checking if user is still online: AscendSNMP, test, 209.91.199.11,
20219, 275607700
DEBUG: Child reaped
DEBUG: Session for test at 209.91.199.11:20219 has gone away

...and the it connects the user. I tried it several times with a the
username test and it always allowed me duplicate logins.

Sometimes I get the error: "There is no such variable name in this MIB. This
name doesn't exist: enterprises.529.12.2.1.3.20113"
I think that is normal if a user disconnected, right?


In the logfile I am also getting lots of:

WARNING: No such attribute Timestamp

...any ideas of what is this? how can I fix that?



Thanks for any help you can give me!

Cheers,
Hector Lopez
