[VOPRadius] Slip Stream

[Brad Johnson]

Oh No! I’ve contacted Vircom about this very issue and many others. I’ve been told good things are to come but …. I don’t plan to hold my breath.   When I put up our slipstream server I contacted Vircom about allowing 1 dialup connection and 1 slipstream connection via dual profiles. I also talked to them about the possibility of having the user-replacement feature that was available for connections with the same username/nas-port expanded to include username/ip address to reduce ghost users.   I actually got Slipstream to add support for Interim/Watchdog packets in a special build for me, the build was delivered to me, I installed it  and tested it BEFORE I even got a definitive answer on the above from Vircom. I then asked Slipstream to add support for having slipstream connections come in with a nas-port-id based on the ip address (to support VOPRadius’ current user-replacement) and that was added and delivered two days later.   All these “special” features were added to the latest major version of Slipstream so you guys now have them as well.     Brad Johnson   Systems Administrator     Local Link Network Operations     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry Essary Sent: Thursday, December 30, 2004 2:03 PM To: vopradius@vircom.com Subject: [VOPRadius] Slip Stream   At 01:35 PM 12/30/2004, you wrote: The irony is that all that use it have this problem but I seem to always be the only one that contacts Vircom about it.  As you might guess Vircom is not going to make changes in their software for one person.  Maybe if there is enough dialogue about it Vircom will give some consideration to a solution within their Radius software. Larry Larry, I think the -rr is appended to the username not the realm. We use the prefix ss- to get the job done. It sucks in that two usernames are needed, but it does help in authentication trouble shooting.

Larry * This is the VOP Radius mailing list * We set up a seperate uid with suffix of "-rr", helps toward quick troubleshooting, too.

If you have you user port limit set to 1 how are you dealing with the 2nd authentication request that comes from the slip stream authentication server ? We have our port limit set to 1 and there seems to be no clean way to solve this without opening ourselves up to port abuse in other ways.  The method with the least liability seems to be to put all of the slip stream users into a profile that has port limit set to 2. One for their connection and one for the slip stream. Any ideas/solutions would be appreciated.
