Default Parameters for NPSRAuthServerTest

This test tracks the Access-Request messages sent by every access server configured to use NPS for authentication, and reports the rate at which these access requests are challenged/rejected by NPS. In addition, the test reveals the time taken by NPS to authenticate requests to every server, thus proactively alerting administrators to potential slowdowns in authentication. The rate at which access requests to a server are enqueued on NPS pending processing is also revealed, so that administrators are informed of bottlenecks in authentication.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the NPSRAuthServerTest.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
