idle cut time in the user online
time to be uploaded to the

server.

session-time include-idle-time

Optional.
By default, the user online time
uploaded to the server excludes the

idle cut time.

IMPORTANT:

In a portal stateful failover scenario, use an idle cut interval that is greater than 5 minutes to make sure
data of online users can be backed up.

NOTE:

If a user passes authentication but is authorized with no user profile, the device authorizes the default
user profile of the ISP domain to the user and restricts the user's behavior based on the profile. For more

information about user profiles, see "Configuring user profiles."

A self-service RADIUS server, such as Intelligent Management Center (IMC), is required for the
self-service server location function to work.

Configuring AAA authentication methods for an ISP domain

In AAA, authentication, authorization, and accounting are separate processes. Authentication refers to
the interactive authentication process of username/password/user information during an access or

service request. The authentication process does not send authorization information to a supplicant or

trigger accounting.
AAA supports the following authentication methods:

No authentication (none)—All users are trusted and no authentication is performed. Generally, do
not use this method.

Local authentication (local)—Authentication is performed by the NAS, which is configured with the
user information, including the usernames, passwords, and attributes. Local authentication features

high speed and low cost, but the amount of information that can be stored is limited by the

hardware.
