RADIUS Attribute-Value Pairs

RADIUS Attribute-Value Pairs

CiscoSecure ACS provides support for many Remote Access Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) attribute-value (AV) pairs. Included with CiscoSecure ACS are the full AV pairs contained in Cisco IOS Release 11.2, Ascend, and IETF-RADIUS. You can enable different AV pairs for any of the supported AV. Listed in this appendix are the supported AV pairs specific to each vendor.

Cisco IOS Dictionary of RADIUS AV Pairs

Before selecting AV pairs for the CiscoSecure ACS, confirm that your network access server (NAS) is running Cisco IOS Release 11.2 or later or compatible NAS software, for RADIUS support.


Note If you specify a given AV pair on the CiscoSecure ACS, the corresponding AV pair must be implemented in the Cisco IOS software running on the NAS. As a result, always consider what AV pairs your Cisco IOS release supports on the NAS. If CiscoSecure ACS sends those AV pairs to the NAS, and the Cisco IOS software does not support them, the attribute you requested cannot be implemented.

Table C-1 lists the AV pairs provided in the Cisco IOS software.

RADIUS (IETF) Attributes

Table C-2 lists the supported RADIUS (IETF) attributes. In cases where the attribute has a security server-specific format, the format is specified.


Table C-2: RADIUS (IETF) AV Pairs
No. Attribute Description Cisco IOS Release 11.1 Cisco IOS Release 11.2
1 User-Name Name of the user being authenticated. Yes Yes
2 User-Password User's password or input following an Access-Challenge. Passwords longer than 16 characters are encrypted using IETF Draft #2 or later specifications. Yes Yes
3 CHAP-Password PPP1 CHAP2 response to an Access-Challenge. Yes Yes
4 NAS-IP Address IP address of the NAS that is requesting authentication. Yes Yes
5 NAS-Port Physical port number of the NAS that is authenticating the user. The NAS-Port value (32 bits) consists of one or two 16-bit values, depending on the setting of the radius-server extended-portnames command. Each 16-bit number is a 5-digit decimal integer interpreted as follows:

  • For asynchronous terminal lines, async network interfaces, and virtual async interfaces, the value is 00ttt, where ttt is the line number or async interface unit number.

  • For ordinary synchronous network interfaces, the value is 10xxx.

  • For channels on a primary rate ISDN3 interface, the value is 2ppcc.

  • For channels on a basic rate ISDN interface, the value is 3bb0c.

  • For other types of interfaces, the value is 6nnss.

Yes

Yes
6 Service-Type Type of service requested or the type of service to be provided:

  • In a request:

Framed for known PPP or SLIP4 connection.
Administrative-user for enable command.

  • In a response:

Login--Make a connection.
Framed--Start SLIP or PPP.
Administrative User--Start an EXEC or enable ok.
Exec User--Start an EXEC session.

Yes

Yes
7 Framed-Protocol Framing to be used for framed access. Yes Yes
8 Framed-IP-Address Address to be configured for the user. Yes Yes
9 Framed-IP-Netmask IP netmask to be configured for the user when the user is a router to a network. This attribute-value results in a static route being added for Framed-IP-Address with the mask specified. Yes Yes
10 Framed-Routing Routing method for the user when the user is a router to a network. Only None and Send and Listen values are supported for this attribute. Yes Yes
11 Filter-Id Name of the filter list for the user, formatted as follows: %d, %d.in, or %d.out. This attribute is associated with the most recent service-type command. For login and EXEC, use %d or %d.out as the line access list value from 0 to 199. For Framed service, use %d or %d.out as interface output access list and %d.in for input access list. The numbers are self-encoding to the protocol to which they refer. Yes Yes
13 Framed-Compression Compression protocol used for the link. This attribute results in a "/compress" being added to the PPP or SLIP autocommand generated during EXEC authorization. Not currently implemented for non-EXEC authorization. Yes Yes
14 Login-IP-Host Host to which the user will connect when the Login-Service attribute is included. Yes Yes
15 Login-Service Service that should be used to connect the user to the login host. Yes Yes
16 Login-Port TCP5 port with which the user is to be connected when the Login-Service attribute is also present. Yes Yes
17 Change-Password Request to change a user's password. No 11.2(5)F
18 Reply-Message Text to be displayed to the user. Yes Yes
21 Password-Expiration Expiration date for a user's password in the user's file entry. No 11.2(5)F
22 Framed-Route Routing information to be configured for the user on this NAS. The RADIUS RFC6 format (net/bits [router [metric]]) and the old style dotted mask (net mask [router [metric]]) are supported. If the router field is omitted or 0, the peer IP address is used. Metrics are currently ignored. Yes Yes
24 State Allows State information to be maintained between the NAS and the RADIUS server. This attribute is applicable only to CHAP challenges. Yes Yes
26 Vendor-Specific Allows vendors to support their own extended attributes unsuitable for general use. The Cisco RADIUS implementation supports one vendor-specific option using the format recommended in the specification. Cisco's vendor-ID is 9, and the supported option has vendor-type 1, cisco-avpair. The value is a string of the format:
protocol:attribute sep value

"Protocol" is a value of the Cisco protocol attribute for a particular type of authorization. Attribute and value are an appropriate AV pair defined in the Cisco TACACS+ specification, and "sep" is "=" for mandatory attributes and "*" for optional attributes. This allows the full set of TACACS+ authorization features to be used for RADIUS. For example:


cisco-avpair= "ip:addr-pool=first"
cisco-avpair= "shell:priv-lvl=15"

The first example causes Cisco's multiple named ip address pools feature to be activated during IP authorization (during PPP's IPCP address assignment). The second example causes a NAS Prompt user to have immediate access to EXEC commands.

Yes Yes
27 Session-Timeout Maximum number of seconds of service to be provided to the user before the session terminates. This attribute value becomes the per-user absolute timeout. This attribute is not valid for PPP sessions. Yes Yes
28 Idle-Timeout Maximum number of consecutive seconds of idle connection allowed to the user before the session terminates. This attribute value becomes the per-user session-timeout. This attribute is not valid for PPP sessions. Yes Yes
34 Login-LAT-Service System with which the user is to be connected by LAT. This attribute is only available in the EXEC mode. Yes Yes
35 Login-LAT-Node Node with which the user is to be automatically connected by LAT7. No No
36 Login-LAT-Group LAT group codes that this user is authorized to use. No No

1 PPP = Point-to-Point Protocol
2 CHAP = Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol
3 ISDN = Integrated Services Digital Network
4 SLIP = Serial Line Internet Protocol
5 TCP = Transmission Control Protocol
6 RFC = Request for Comments
7 LAT = local-area transport

RADIUS (IETF) Accounting Attributes

Table C-3 lists the supported RADIUS (IETF) accounting attributes. In cases where the attribute has a security server-specific format, the format is specified.


Table C-3: RADIUS (IETF) Accounting Attributes
Number Attribute Description Cisco IOS Release 11.1 Cisco IOS Release 11.2
25 Class Arbitrary value that the NAS includes in all accounting packets for this user if supplied by the RADIUS server. Yes Yes
30 Called-Station-Id Allows the NAS to send the telephone number the user called as part of the Access-Request packet (using DNIS1 or similar technology). This attribute is only supported on ISDN and for modem calls on the Cisco AS5200 if used with PRI2. Yes Yes
31 Calling-Station-Id Allows the NAS to send the telephone number the call came from as part of the Access-Request packet (using Automatic Number Identification or similar technology). This attribute has the same value as "remote-addr" from TACACS+. This attribute is only supported on ISDN and for modem calls on the Cisco AS5200 if used with PRI. Yes Yes
40 Acct-Status-Type Whether this Accounting-Request marks the beginning of the user service (start) or the end (stop). Yes Yes
41 Acct-Delay-Time Number of seconds the client has been trying to send a particular record. Yes Yes
42 Acct-Input-Octets Number of octets received from the port over the course of this service being provided. Yes Yes
43 Acct-Output-Octets Number of octets sent to the port while delivering this service. Yes Yes
44 Acct-Session-Id Unique accounting identifier that makes it easy to match start and stop records in a log file. Acct-Session Ids restart at 1 each time the router is power cycled or the software is reloaded. Contact Cisco Support if this is unsuitable. Yes Yes
45 Acct-Authentic Way in which the user was authenticated--by RADIUS, by the NAS itself, or by another remote authentication protocol. This attribute is set to radius for users authenticated by RADIUS; to remote for TACACS+ and Kerberos; or to local for local, enable, line, and if-needed methods. For all other methods, the attribute is omitted. Yes Yes
46 Acct-Session-Time Number of seconds the user has received service. Yes Yes
47 Acct-Input-Packets Number of packets received from the port over the course of this service being provided to a framed user. Yes Yes
48 Acct-Output-Packets Number of packets sent to the port in the course of delivering this service to a framed user. Yes Yes
61 NAS-Port-Type Type of physical port the NAS is using to authenticate the user. Yes Yes

1 DNIS = Dialed Number Identification
2 PRI = Primary Rate Interface
