RSA RADIUS 7.1
RSA Authentication Manager 8.0
RADIUS
Bluecoat
packeteer
A third-party device requires vendor specific attributes returned in a RADIUS profile returns list.
Here are instructions for creating a new RADIUS dictionary for the RADIUS attributes required by a Bluecoat product.
Vendor: Bluecoat
Description: Vendor specific attributes being returned in an RSA RADIUS profile for PacketGuide/PacketShaper
Reference link: https://bto.bluecoat.com/packetguide/9.2/info/configure-radius-server.htm
Steps:
| 1. | The default RSA RADIUS folders for RSA RADIUS 6.1 on;
i) a supported Microsoft Windows platform is C:\Program Files\RSA Security\RSA RADIUS\Service
ii) a supported UNIX platform /opt/rsa/radius
The default RSA RADIUS folders for RSA RADIUS 7.1 on;
i) a supported Microsoft Windows platform is C:\Program Files\RSA Security\RSA Authentication Manager\radius\Service
ii) a supported UNIX platform /usr/local/RSASecurity/RSAAuthenticationManager/radius
The default RSA RADIUS folder for RSA Authentication Manager 8.0 on;
i) /opt/rsa/am/radius
|
| 2. | Create a radius dictionary file named packeteer.dct in the RSA RADIUS folder
|
| 3. | Add attributes to the new radius dictionary
ATTRIBUTE Packeteer-AVPair 26 [vid=2334 type1=1 len1=+2 data=string] r ATTRIBUTE Packeteer-PC-AVPair 26 [vid=2334 type1=1 len1=+2 data=string] r
NOTE: please refer to the readme.dct in the RADIUS folder for detailed information on the dictionary format
|
| 4. | Update a file called vendor.ini and add a new section for the new vendor
vendor-product = Packeteer dictionary = packeteer ignore-ports = no port-number-usage = per-port-type help-id = 0
NOTE: it is recommended to add the new vendor in alphabetic order as this maintains order in the RADIUS graphical user interface on the pull-down list.
|
| 5. | Update a file called dictiona.dcm and add the dictionary filename to the vendor specific list (in alphabetic order)
@packeteer.dct
|
| 6. | Stop and start the RSA RADIUS service.
Examine the RADIUS log file (formated yyyymmdd.log - e.g. 20130929) found in the radius folder for any error messages concerning the new radius dictionary (e.g. packeteer.dct) e.g. ... ... You are likely to see an update to the dictionary information after adding the new radius dictionary. 08/29/2011 09:51:03 Number of dictionaries in saved file does not match number in directory 08/29/2011 09:51:03 Opening saved dictionary file 08/29/2011 09:51:03 Successfully initialized saved-dcts.bin file 08/29/2011 09:51:03 Starting dictionary file processing ... 08/29/2011 09:51:10 Writing dictionary info to saved dictionary 08/29/2011 09:51:11 Successfully wrote dictionary information to saved-dcts.bin 08/29/2011 09:51:11 Closing saved dictionary file 08/29/2011 09:51:11 Successfully created and closed saved-dcts.bin 08/29/2011 09:51:11 Concluded dictionary file processing ... ... ...
|
| 7. | When configuring the RADIUS clients there will be a new Make/model type called ?Packeteer? which will allow Bluecoat vendor specific attributes to be selected in the Return List of Attributes for RADIUS profiles in the RSA Security Console.
