(ASCEND) Change in defaults when upgrading from 4.x to 5.0Ap13?
Greetings. It's been a couple of years now since I've had the occasion to
spend much time on my Max, so bear with me if I've missed something obvious
due to my memory fog...
We've been running version 4.6Cp30 for quite some time, and we finally got
around to installing 5.0Ap13 yesterday. Immediately we ran into a problem
whereby our modem users weren't being authorized the way they used to. In
our radius file, each user is defined as simply:
jcday Password = "Unix",
Ascend_Idle-Limit = 3600
With that definition when running 4.x, modem users could dial in and use
PPP (e.g., using DUN in Win95) or simple telnet, or they could invoke PPP
from the command line after logging in at the Max command prompt.
After moving to 5.0Ap13, however, the above definition is allowing only PPP
as implemented in W95 - users can't invoke PPP from the command line.
Since we didn't modify Radius, it looks like something changed in the Max.
Rereading the Radius doc, my impression is that it was working correctly
before, i.e., since I don't specify a "User-Service" tag, it defaults to
allowing both methods of invoking PPP and regular old telnet.
We hacked our radius users file to now include "User-Service=Framed User"
for every single entry, but while that now allows both modes of PPP, it
prevents telnet sessions...
Questions:
1) What do I need to do to get this back working such that modem users can
use any of the three methods?
2) What changed?
Thanks in advance for the assist...
