The User Name and Password to be used for user authentication.
|
IMPORTANT: The SUT must be provisioned to accept as valid the user names and passwords used in the test in order for authentications to succeed. |
|
NOTE: In AAA Node Test Case, the general User Name works independently with the User Name in EAP Settings, it will not be overwritten. |
User Name — If more than one session is used in the test, you can use the same User Name for every session or provision a unique name for each session. The default value will produce unique names in the format spcoastn@domain, where n begins at 1 and increments for each MN. Alternatively, you can use the Auto-Increment feature to generate custom names.
Range: Any user name format used by the SUT
Default: @domain
Password — Defines the password that is used for all user names. You can provision a unique password for each user name by using an Auto-Increment format.
|
NOTE: When an incrementing format is used, the additional processing required will reduce the maximum number of MN sessions. |
Range: Any password format used by the SUT
Default: secret
User Name and Password are used with the following protocols:
The user credential parameters appear in the EAP Settings window when EAP authentication is enabled. User Name is the MN's user name, NAI, or IMSI, and is sent in the EAP Identity response when full authentication is used. Additional settings may be available depending on the EAP method or test case:
Password is only enabled when the MD5 method is selected, and is used to form the MD5 Challenge response.
AAA User Name, in addition to User Name, and CHAP Password are required with EAP-TTLS. Note: Maximum of 64 characters are allowed for User Name / Password. This method is always used in the WiMax Nodal test case and is optional in other test cases.
The user credential parameters appear on the PPP tab when authentication is enabled with the Authorization drop-down list. They are used to authenticate the MN with a network element during the LCP phase of PPP session establishment.
Tcl Parameter: PppUname
The user credential parameters are on the NAS tab in the AAA Server Nodal test case and are on the AAA App tab in the AAA Server Node test case.
Tcl parameter: RadiusPasswordEnabler
Tcl parameter: RadiusPassword

NOTES:
|
In this case, the user credentials are used to authenticate the MN with a AAA SUT.
User Name provisions the User-Name attribute, and Password provisions either the User-Password or CHAP-Password/CHAP-Auth attributes in an Access Request message. If a different User-Name is received from a AAA SUT in the Access Accept message, it is ignored.
You can also include the User-Name attribute in Accounting Request messages by selecting Message Includes the User Name.
In this case, the user credentials are used to validate the credentials sent by a NAS SUT. You can use the Password checkbox to specify whether a password is required (checked) or whether only the User Name will be authenticated (cleared).
|
NOTE: For authentication to succeed, these parameters must mirror the PAP or CHAP credentials defined in the associated nodal test case. Anonymous authentication is not supported. |
