Novell Access Management 3 Support Pack 1 applied
Radius server requiring the NAS-IP-Address attribute
Situation
The VASCO's Vacman Middleware (version 3) requires the
NAS-IP-Address attribute for an Access-Request for RADIUS
Authentication. Current RADIUS RFC 2865 states the following
regarding this attribute:
"This Attribute contains a string identifying the NAS originating the Access-Request. It is only used in Access-Request packets. Either NAS-IP-Address or NAS-Identifier MUST be present in an Access-Request packet."
"This Attribute contains a string identifying the NAS originating the Access-Request. It is only used in Access-Request packets. Either NAS-IP-Address or NAS-Identifier MUST be present in an Access-Request packet."
Resolution
Populate the NAS_IP_ADDRESS property on the Radius class or method
with the IP address of the Novell Identity server.
When this is setup, the outgoing radius request will have the NAS_IP_ADDRESS attribute with the string identifying the NAS originating the Access-Request ie. the Novell Identity server.
