FAQ Responses
Q: I created some user files in a
simple text editor and TCCRadius says INVALID CLIENT in the debug
window.
A: Make sure that you did not save an extension to the files.
Wrong: billy.txt
Right: billy
Q: I tried to authenticate using the
Radtest Tool, but TCCRadius is giving me an access denied
statement.
A. Make sure that the ip address of the box, port number,
and your shared secret is correct. You can check this by going
into thee TCCRadius directory and making sure that this
information in RadTest.cfg is correct.
Example: 206.98.70.21
1645
foobar
B. Check your clients.cfg in the config directory. Make sure
that the ip address, and shared secret is correct of the box that
you are authenticating too.
Example:
208.180.112.41 foobar
Check the NAS.cfg and make sure you have the correct
attributes of the box that you are authenticating to. Check your
specific vendor for any special attributes.
Example: client=208.180.112.41
user-service-type=framed-user
framed-protocol=ppp
framed-ip-netmask=255.255.255.255
idle-timeout=1800
C. Save and restart the debug window by clicking on the icon
on the desktop.
Q: How do I put a static ip address for my users in the text
files?
A: Open up the user file with a simple text editor and type in
framed-ip-address= and then the address that you want to assign
the user. Check out the dictonary.cfg file for more attributes
that you can assign to each user. Also, check your specific
vendor for their list of attributes.
Example:
user-name=jim
password=bean
framed-ip-address=208.12.9.4
idle-limit=0
Q: Emergency! I've lost all of my user settings and need to
get my customers online, fast. What do I do?
A:Go into the users directory and open up the Default file
with a simple text editor. If you do not have one create a file
called Default. Next, set user-name=DEFAULT. Then a couple of
spaces down put, password = accept. Save the file with no
extension. Now the customers should get on. I would only do this
for a very short period, till you have time to re-create you
customer login list.
Example:
user-name=DEFAULT
password = accept
Q: How do I update a users password without having to ask the
user for their new password and then typing it in.
A: Open up your user's file and type in update where there
password is located. Save and when the user logs in with a
different password, it will be updated automatically and a Time
stamp will be placed in the user file showing when it was updated.
Example:
password = update
Q: How do I test the limits of my machine that I am
authenticating with TCCRadius?
A: You run the Radtest.exe tool under the TCCRadius directory
with a [Times to Loop] switch. This will cause the Radtest tool
to authenticate as many times as you like and as fast as
TCCRadius and the machine it is on can handle. Then it will print
out a simple report of its operations at the end of the session.
This will give you a rough estimation of what your authentication
machine can handle.
Example Input:
radtest test testpass 10000
radtest test testpass 10000 -q (suppress the output to the screen)
Example Output:
Completed!Total Packets Sent: 10000
Total Seconds: 40
Packets per Second: 250
