Testing the Installation

To test the server installation quickly, perform the following procedure using Server Manager:

Add a loopback connection to a AAA server
Start the AAA server
Check the status for a response

To Test the Installation

Complete the following steps to test the server installation:

Connect to Server Manager and start the AAA server. See “Accessing the Server Manager”.
From the navigation tree, click the Server Connections link and then click the Connect to Server link.
In the Add Connection screen that opens, enter the values for you server as shown in the following format:
Name
The identifying string of a remote server.
Domain Name or IP Address

The IP address (traditional IPv4 address in dotted-quad notation, or IPv6 address in IPv6 literal format notation), or valid Domain Name System (DNS) host name of the AAA server that the connection maps to.
Example: IPv4 address- 192.0.2.0
IPv6 address- fedc:ba98:7654:3210:fedc:ba98:7654:3210
Domain Name- example.org
Click Create.
Verify the server is listed and selected in the Server Status frame.
From the navigation tree, click Administration.
Click Start.
Verify the server has started. A green “GO” icon in the Server Status frame indicates the server is running.
Verify the server is selected in the Server Status frame and then select the Status option.
Check Server Manager’s Message Frame for the status reply. The following reply at the bottom of the Message Frame indicates the server is running correctly:
“<server name> (port#)” is responding
NOTE: If you do not receive this message, see Chapter 15 “Troubleshooting”.
Verify that your HP-UX AAA Server is installed and operating correctly by using the testing user (named test_user) created during installation. After test_user is authenticated and the AAA server sends an Access-Accept, the client sends an Accounting-Request to start the session. After the session is terminated, the client sends an Accounting-Request stop message to stop the session logging and the AAA server writes the session information to a file.
1. Enter the following command:
  # /opt/aaa/bin/radpwtst -s localhost -i 192.0.2.0 -l test_user
  This command simulates an Access-Request from port 1 of a NAS with an IP address of 192.0.2.0. When prompted for a password, enter: password. The command must return the following output:
  ’test_user’ authentication OK
2. Enter the following command:
```
#  /opt/aaa/bin/radpwtst -c 4 -s localhost -i 192.0.2.0 -l 1 -u
ppp -:Acct-Status-Type=Start test_user
```
  This command simulates an Accounting-Request start message, activating the users’s PPP session. The command must return the following output:
  Accounting Response received
3. Enter the following command:
```
#  /opt/aaa/bin/radpwtst -c 4 -s localhost -i 192.0.2.0 -l 1 -u
ppp -:Acct-Status-Type=Stop test_user
```
  This command simulates an Accounting-Request stop message, terminating the users’s session. The command must return the following output:
  Accounting Response received
4. View the session logs for test_user’s start and stop accounting messages by selecting Accounting in Server Manager’s navigation tree and clicking Display.




	IMPORTANT: HP recommends removing `test_user` or changing it’s default password before deploying the HP-UX AAA Server in a production environment. See “Securing the HP-UX AAA Server” for more information.
