The HSS Client tab in S6a interface is used to define the client authentication and location information requests sent from the HSS SUT to the MME.
The HSS SUT via the S6a interface enables transfer of subscription and authentication data for authenticating/authorizing user access to the evolved system (AAA interface) between HSS and MME.
HSS Client is available in the HSS Nodal test case when either HSS-MME/SGSN I/F - S6a ,HSS-MME/SGSN I/F - S6d ,HSS-MME/SGSN I/F - Gr are enabled.

Measurements collected for HSS related processing are reported on the HSS Node report tab.
| Authentication |
Defines the authentication keys used by the MNs.
Perform Authentication Select the checkbox to enable authentication. Tcl Parameter: HSSClnAuthEn
|
|
| EPS Authentication |
Indicates EPS Authentication is supported when you select Perform Authentication and the Number of Requested Vectors is automatically set to 2 for the S6a/S6d interface. Tcl Parameters: HssClnNumAuthVectors HssClnS6aEpsAuthEn HssClnS6dEpsAuthEn |

|
Verify Received Auth Parameters |
Indicates UMTS Authentication is supported when you select Perform Authentication and the Number of Requested Vectors is automatically set to 2 for the S6a/S6d/Gr interface Select Verify Received Auth Parameters for processing of sendAuthenticationInformation to validate authentication parameters. Note : When Verify Received Auth Parameters is enabled, additional computing power will be consumed, thus it will greatly impact performance if a large number of subscribers are involved. Limitation : Only the first set of the authentication vectors will be verified when multiple sets of vectors are returned by HLR/HSS. This feature also increases memory usage and may impact capacity as well. Reference : TS 33.201, TS 33.102. Tcl Parameter: HssClnS6aUmtsAuthEn Tcl Parameter: HssClnS6dUmtsAuthEn Tcl Parameter: HssClnGrUmtsAuthEn Tcl Parameter: HssClnGrUmtsVerifyRcvdEn |

| GSM Authentication |
Indicates GSM Authentication is supported when you select Perform Authentication and the Number of Requested Vectors is automatically set to 2 for the S6a/S6d/Gr interface. Tcl Parameter: HssClnS6aGsmAuthEn Tcl Parameter: HssClnS6dGsmAuthEn Tcl Parameter: HssClnGrGsmAuthEn |
