Framed-Compression

attribute to appear twice in the return list: once with the

value

VJ-TCP-IP-header-compression

and once with the value

IPX-header-compression

.

Orderable Attributes

Certain multi-valued return list attributes are also orderable; that is, the attribute
can appear more than once in a RADIUS response, and the order in which the
attributes appear is important.

For example, the

Reply-Message

attribute allows text messages to be sent back

to the user for display. A multi-line message is sent by including this attribute
multiple times in the return list, with each line of the message in its proper
sequence.

System Assigned Values

Some attributes do not allow the administrator to set a value.
RSA RADIUS Server retrieves the appropriate values for these attributes when
they are needed.

Echo Property

Using the echo property, you can force an attribute from the RADIUS request to
be echoed in the RADIUS response. For example, you might add

Callback-Number

to the return list and click the

echo

checkbox.

RSA RADIUS Server takes the value of the Callback-Number it receives in the
RADIUS request and echoes it back to the client in the RADIUS response; if it
receives no Callback-Number, it echoes nothing.

You enter

Callback-Number

one or more times into the checklist. This

indicates that one of the callback numbers you supplied must be present in the
RADIUS request, and that number should be echoed in the RADIUS response.

Default Values

Choosing

default

for a checklist attribute specifies that, if the RADIUS request

does not include this attribute, the request should not be rejected. Instead, the
value supplied as the default should be used as if it were received as part of the
request. One use for default values is to require that an attribute in a RADIUS
request must have one of several values, or must not be present at all. Another use
is to provide a default value for an attribute in conjunction with the echo property
in the return list.
