Problems with Radius Authentication JanBN 02-03-07

Hi

I have kind of a weird problem with my radius authentication. We are
using the built-it IAS service against our Nortel switches. We have a
lot of Nortel 5520, 470, Business Policy Switch, 8610 ect - and the
same problem occurs on all of them.


I have no problems logging on with my AD credentials, but one of my
colleagues gets rejected. On the IAS end it all looks fine - it
accepts the request (Also for him), but the switch still denies
access. We had hoped that a software upgrade would solve the problem
-
but it's still there.


Should Radius not be a very simple protocol - could there be any AD
account issues?


Hope you can help me on this matter. I have read some contribution in
this forum, but none where it worked only for some users.


Best regards,


Jan Bach Kaiser Nykj=E6r

What privileges does the user in question have? I not huge on MS
domain knowledge but you don't want regular users getting an enable
prompt on your network hardware do you? try add them to the DA group
and then login.
