Testing the Installation

To quickly test the server installation, you will use Server Manager to add a loopback connection to a AAA server, start the server, and then check its status for a response. Use the following steps to test the server installation:

Connect to Server Manager and start the AAA server. See “Starting the HP-UX AAA Server”.
Select the Server Connections link from the Navigation Tree and then select the Connect to Server link.
Enter the values for your server in the Add Connection screen that appears and select Create:
Name
The identifying string of a remote server.
Domain Name or IP Address

The IP address (in dotted-quad notation) or valid Domain Name System (DNS) host name of the AAA server that the connection maps to.
Verify the server is listed and selected in the Server Status frame.
Select the Administration link from the Navigation Tree.
Select Start.
Verify the server 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 did not receive this message, refer to the Troubleshooting chapter in HP-UX AAA Server Administrator’s.
Verify 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 10.0.0.1 -l 1 test_user
  This command simulates an Access-Request from port 1 of a NAS with an IP address of 10.0.0.1. When prompted for a password, enter: password. The command should return the following output:
  ’test_user’ authentication OK
2. Enter the following command:
```
#  /opt/aaa/bin/radpwtst -c 4 -s localhost -i 10.0.0.1 -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 should return the following output:
  Accounting Response received
3. Enter the following command:
```
#  /opt/aaa/bin/radpwtst -c 4 -s localhost -i 10.0.0.1 -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 should 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 your HP-UX AAA Server in a production environment. See the Securing the HP-UX AAA Server section in the HP-UX AAA Server Administrator’s Guide.
