7 All Rights Reserved © Alcatel-Lucent 2007 7 | Introduction to 8950 AAA RADIUS / Diameter / TACACS+ PolicyServer Functionality Overview Processes authentication & accounting requests Invokes the method engine Starts the web server Starts the Telnet/SSH CLI servers Logs events USS+ IPAM Maintain port usage information Identify session limit violations Monitor user sessions May assigns IPs

8 All Rights Reserved © Alcatel-Lucent 2007 8 | Introduction to 8950 AAA Logical System View AAA Remote ISP Local AAA server #1 Local AAA server #2 Universal StateServer LDAP Directories or Database Servers NAS...... User PSTN the Internet

9 All Rights Reserved © Alcatel-Lucent 2007 9 | Introduction to 8950 AAA Management and Control Features 8950 AAA Server Management Tool (SMT) Graphical User interface (GUI) Provides server administration and statistics Local or Remote (via Configuration Server) Remote Management Via telnet/ssh and modifying configuration files Using the SMT With a Command Line Interface (CLI) All remote management traffic can be encrypted with SSH or SSL

10 All Rights Reserved © Alcatel-Lucent 2007 10 | Introduction to 8950 AAA PolicyFlow and PolicyAssistant PolicyFlow (PF) extensible plug-in software architecture enabling the construction of flexible AAA policies to be able to meet any AAA requirements you design exactly the processing steps you need, in the order you need them. PolicyAssistant (PA) Simplifies configuration, for small ISP or companies (predefined policy flow plus predefined provisioning) Handles 80% of simple configuration needs Otherwise, use PolicyFlow Has a graphical wizard to define policies Configuration Time What can be done PF PA

11 All Rights Reserved © Alcatel-Lucent 2007 11 | Introduction to 8950 AAA 8950 AAA Major Features (I) Storage of users profiles Local text files SQL server (local built-in (HSQL) or remote) LDAP server HTTP server RADIUS server (proxy RADIUS) Storage of accounting logs Local text files Allows definition of any file format (Classic, Delimited or Fixed) Remote servers Remote database (SQL) or RADIUS servers (proxy-RADIUS)

12 All Rights Reserved © Alcatel-Lucent 2007 12 | Introduction to 8950 AAA 8950 AAA Major Features (II) Proxy-RADIUS Ability to modify/add/remove any attribute sent/received from the remote server Secure external authentication in token card servers SecurID/ACE (RSA) SafeWord (Secure Computing) Time-of-Day restrictions And automatic calculation of Session-Timeout Wide EAP support EAP-MD5, EAP-GTC, EAP-LEAP, EAP-MsChapV2, EAP-TLS (and TTLS and PEAP), EAP-SIM/AKA, EAP-FAST Multiple Dictionaries To meet specific characteristics of each NAS or remote RADIUS server (when proxying)

13 All Rights Reserved © Alcatel-Lucent 2007 13 | Introduction to 8950 AAA 8950 AAA Major Features (III) Pre-authentication for dial-up SNMP support for statistics (v1, v2 & v3) Standard RFCs for RADIUS auth+acct (server and client): 4668, 4669, 4670, 4671 Built-in SQL database for users and accounting data storage
