RSA RADIUS Server 6.1 Administrator’s Guide Displaying Statistics 59
Silent Discards The number of requests in which the client could not be
identified since the last time authentication statistics were
reset. This might occur if a RADIUS client entry cannot be
found for a device with the name and/or IP address of a
device requesting authentication services.
Total Transactions The sum of the accept, reject, and silent discard totals
since the last time authentication statistics were reset.
Reject Details
Dropped Packet The number of RADIUS authentication packets dropped by
RSA RADIUS Server because the server was flooded with
more packets than it could handle.
Invalid Request The number of invalid RADIUS requests made.
A RADIUS client is sending incorrectly formed packets to
RSA RADIUS Server. Either the RADIUS client is
misconfigured, or the RADIUS client does not conform to
the RADIUS standard.
Failed Authentication The number of failed authentication requests, where the
failure is due to invalid user ID or password.
If all transactions are failing authentication, the shared
secret configured on the RSA RADIUS Server does not
match the shared secret configured on the RADIUS client.
Failed on Checklist The number of requests that were authenticated but failed
to meet the checklist requirements.
Insufficient Resources The number of rejects due to a server resource problem.
Retries Received
Transactions Retried The number of requests for which one or more duplicates
was received.
Total Retry Packets The number of duplicate packets received.
Challenges The number of challenges received.
