Default Parameters for NPSAuthProxyTest

This test keeps tabs on the access requests the NPS RADIUS Proxy receives from access servers and reports the rate at which the RADIUS server challenges / rejects these requests, thereby enabling administrators to instantly spot an abnormal number of challenges and rejections. Additionally, the test also reveals the rate at which erroneous request/response packets are received by the NPS RADIUS Proxy, thus providing administrators with effective pointers to what could be causing the high rate of challenges, rejects, or retransmisssions – is it because of malformed packets? packets with invalid authentication attributes? packets with invalid addresses? or non-RADIUS packets? The test also sheds light on the poor processing ability of the NPS RADIUS Proxy by reporting the number of pending requests on the proxy from time to time.

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

• 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.
