LIVINGSTON RADIUS NT 2.01b12 (Open Beta) Installation Notes (February 12, 1998) INTRODUCTION Livingston RADIUS NT 2.01b12 is available for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 server or workstation. RADIUS NT 2.01b12 FEATURES RADIUS NT 2.01b12 includes the following features: 1. SecurID SecurID version 2.3 for NT 4.0 is now supported in this beta version of RADIUS NT. 2. ODBC Support In addition to the text format, Accounting records can now be logged via the ODBC database. In order to view the accounting log in ODBC database, use the Microsoft Query. The ODBC database is also used in place of the DAO database for clients and users caching. In order for Livingston RADIUS NT to work properly, the latest Microsoft Data Access Components 1.5 must be used. This package includes the updated ODBC administration drivers (version 3.50.33.8) and can be downloaded from Microsoft web site (http://www.microsoft.com/data). Look for the link that says "Download the Microsoft Data Access Component 1.5 Release". The link will guide you to download mdac_nts.exe or mdac_ntw.exe for Windows NT Server or Windows NT workstation respectively. 3. Auth-Type = Reject This feature is used when you want to disable a user profile without deleting the record in the users file. 4. If the User Cache option is not selected, the Updated User Cache button on the RADIUS panel will be grayed out. 5. The RADIUS log file is now logged the number of clients that are being cache when starting the RADIUS service. RADIUS NT 2.01b12 INSTALLATION In order for Livingston RADIUS NT to run properly, you must have Service Pack 3 for NT installed on the NT server or workstation. If you have a previous Livingston RADIUS NT software version installed on your NT server or workstation, before installing RADIUS 2.01b12, you must uninstall the previous Livingston RADIUS NT version. The uninstall program of RADIUS 2.0.1b12 now removes the radius.mdb correctly. The RADIUS NT 2.0.1b12 install program will overwrite the existing radsvc.ini file so it will be up-to-date. The radius.mdb file is located in C:\Winnt\system32\drivers\etc\raddb and the radsvc.ini is located in C:\Winnt directories. In order to install and run RADIUS NT 2.01b12, you must login to your NT server or workstation as an Administrator with the following User Rights: * Act as part of the operating system * Increase quotas * Replace a process level token If the above User Rights are not configured for the Administrator account, when starting the RADIUS service, a popup window will display the required User Rights before RADIUS service can be started. DOWNLOADING RADIUS NT 2.01b12 The default installation for RADIUS NT is c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\raddb. To download RADIUS NT 2.01b12, refer to the following steps: ftp ftp.livingston.com (enter anonymous) (enter your e-mail address; it will not echo) binary cd /pub/le/software/pc/beta get radiusnt.exe get radiusnt.txt To install the RADIUS NT 2.01b12, perform the following steps: 1. Enter radiusnt.exe at the DOS prompt or double click on the radiusnt.exe file in the Windows NT Explorer, this self-extractable file will generate the setup files for RADIUS NT. 2. Enter setup.exe at the DOS prompt or double click on the setup.exe file in the Windows NT Explorer, this file will guide you through the installation of RADIUS NT. The clients, users, and dictionary files can be edited by selecting the Edit panel. The RADIUS log file can be viewed via the pull down menu under the View panel. CAVEATS 1. The uninstall program only removes files from the default directory, C:\Winnt\system32\drivers\etc\raddb. If you run RADIUS in a different location, then you must remove those files manually when you install a new version of RADIUS NT. 2. RADIUS NT 2.0.1 conforms to the NT convention in terms of case insensitive for usernames and case sensitive for passwords. In this respect, if you have an entry in the users file that uses local password, in order for a user to authenticate, the username must be entered exactly the same case in the users file. However, if an entry in the users file has Auth-Type = System as a check item, then this user can be authenticated whether or not he uses the uppercase or lowercase for his username.
