Accounting Relay Port number to relay accounting requests. This option is useful when proxying requests to a AAA server that is not listening on the default port.

Debug Level Specifies the debug level. Higher levels write more information to the radius.debug file. Increasing this value can cause performance to decline.

Reset Logfile Empties the logfile and debug file when the server is started.

Reset Session Table

Empties stored session table at server startup.




	IMPORTANT: This option is only intended for experimental use or testing and not for a live production server. If you reset a production server, the server loses track of the sessions that are still active.




	IMPORTANT: Modified start options will not take effect until the server is stopped (by selecting the stop button) and then restarted.




	NOTE: All options specified when the server is started are written to the server’s logfile.

Server Manager’s Reload Feature

The Reload button signals the HP-UX AAA Server to reload specific configuration information while the server is running. The result of the command will be displayed in the Message frame. The HP-UX AAA server will reload the following files after you select Reload:

users
clients
authfile
aaa.config
engine.config (all values except the certificate properties, which require you to stop and restart the server to be refreshed)
las.conf
EAP.authfile
aaa.config.license

In order for other configuration changes to take effect, you must stop and restart the server.




	IMPORTANT: Save the configuration before reloading the configuration information.
