RE: (ASCEND) Ascent Radius Attributes - clarification



Steve,

The advice you received to run 1.0Ai3 was valid at the time.
However, the latest version of Access Control is 1.0Ai9.
There have been some modifications along the way to alter
 the mechanism AAC uses to interact with NT for WinNT
database authentication.

You should be able to build a profile with Authentication-Type = WinNT
if you want to authenticate against the NT users database.

Prior to 1.0Ai7, the right to 'Log on Locally' was required in the NT users
profile.
This may be preventing you from getting this to work with 1.0Ai3.

My advice would be to upgrade to 1.0Ai9 to benefit from this change and
also
a number of other enhancements to AAC functionality and stability on the
NT platform.

I am trying to use Ascend Access control - NT version.
I originally tried to use v1.0Ai5.  I couldn't ever get it start unless
I put it into debug mode.  Support told me to use v1.0Ai3 instead.
It works fairly well.  I needed to emulate a UNIX modem bank.  I needed
to give some users an UNIX login prompt when they connected, skipping
Max login.
Here is my USERS entry that does this:
#% UNIX dial-up users.
5551234 Password = "Ascend-DNIS", Service-Type = Authenticate-Only
 Ascend-Require-Auth = Not-Require-Auth,
 Service-Type = Login,
 Login-Service = Telnet,
 Login-IP-Host = 1.2.3.4
A feature that I would really like to get working is WinNT
authentication.
I sent a message to this list a few days ago.  I guess no one else is
using it.
It doesn't work.  I sent a message to support.  I really hope they get
back to me.
Steve.
