: - Prefer If CLID is available it is used for authentication. If : there is no profile with this CLID the call is rejected. : If no CLID is available then normal PAP/CHAP takes place. Actually, this isn't quite true--IF you are running a later patch release of 5.0A. This was a known bug in 5.0A release version; upgrade yourself to 5.0Ap7. Correctly, this option tried CLID, and if that authentication request fails, answers the call anyway and performs PAP/CHAP. This appears to be the option you want, with the bug. : - Fallback Don't know how it works I'm not quite sure, either. I believe this performs CLID if PAP and CHAP are both rejected by the remote peer. : And in the radius file? When I have CLID available and ID Auth=PREFER : I was never able do the authentication via CLID only. I always had to : have a user profile and a "clid number" profile to get authentication. Not really. You can use: 5155552121 Password = "Ascend-CLID" Attribute = Value, ... on Id Auth=Prefer; this is in fact how that option works. ===== == Todd Vierling (Personal tv@pobox.com; Business tv@iag.net) Foo-bar-baz! == == System administrator/technician, Internet Access Group, Orlando Florida == == Dialups in Orange, Volusia, Lake, Osceola counties - <A HREF="http://www.iag.net">http://www.iag.net</A> == ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.shore.net/~dreaming/ascend-faq">http://www.shore.net/~dreaming/ascend-faq</A>> or <<A HREF="ftp://ftp.shore.net/members/dreaming/ascend-faq.txt">ftp://ftp.shore.net/members/dreaming/ascend-faq.txt</A>> </PRE> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <HR> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg04859.html">Re: (ASCEND) Need help with selecting a 2-line phone to work with P75</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg04856.html">(ASCEND) re: Need help with selecting a 2-line phone to work with P75 (Please)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg04855.html">Re: (ASCEND) Problem with CLID/CHAP-PAP and RADIUS</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg04854.html">(ASCEND) Thoughts on Type 2 Disconnects</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="mail162.html#04858"><STRONG>Main</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thrd16.html#04858"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> </BODY> </HTML>
