RADIUS Accounting Messages
RADIUS accounting uses two types of accounting messages:
- Accounting-Request
- Accounting-Response
An Accounting-Request can send one of three request types specified by the Status-Type attribute:
| This request | Is sent |
|---|---|
| Start | When a user logs in. |
| Stop | When a user logs out. |
| Interim-Update | Periodically during a user login session. |
Accounting messages follow the RADIUS standard specified by RFC 2866. Each message contains a list of attributes and an authenticator that is validated by a shared secret.
These SSO-relevant attributes are set in Accounting-Requests:
| Status-Type | Type of accounting request (Start, Stop, or Interim-Update) |
| User-Name | User’s login name. The format is not specified by the RFC and can be a simple login name or a string with various values such as login name, domain, or distinguished name (DN). |
| Framed-IP-Address | User's IP address. If NAT is used, this must be the user’s internal IP address. |
| Calling-Station-ID | String representation of the user's IP address, used by some appliances such as SMA. |
| Proxy-State | Pass-though state used for forwarding requests to another RADIUS accounting server. |
