Getting SENDAUTH password from RADIUS

ovt

Hi!

Does anybody know an easy way to get SENDAUTH password from RADIUS?

Suppose we have ISDN line with hub router that can call several remote routers. I don't want to configure the hub with lots of "username Remote-X password Y", but still want to use different CHAP password for each remote peer. Unfortunately the following simple config doesn't work:

! hostname R2 - hub

aaa new-model

aaa authentication ppp ISDN group radius

aaa authorization network ISDN group radius

int dialer 1

ppp authentication chap ISDN

ppp authorization ISDN

dialer map ip ... name R4 broadcast ...

<other maps>

When R2 receives CHAP challenge from R4 I see:

AAA/AUTHEN/START (2566237755): port='BRI0/0:1' list='ISDN' action=SENDAUTH service=PPP

AAA/AUTHEN/START (2566237755): found list ISDN

AAA/AUTHEN/START (2566237755): Method=radius (radius)

AAA/AUTHEN/SENDAUTH (2566237755): Failed sendauthen for R4

AAA/AUTHEN (2566237755): status = FAIL

AAA/AUTHEN/START (2566237755): no methods left to try

AAA/AUTHEN (2566237755): status = ERROR

AAA/AUTHEN/START (2566237755): failed to authenticate

BR0/0:1 CHAP: Username R4: lookup failure

R2 doesn't even go to the RADIUS server to get SENDAUTH password for outbound CHAP authentication.

Is there an easy way to configure this? ("Large-scale dialout" IOS feature looks overcomplicated for this simple task.)

Hi,

Any update on this ?

Still no replay from comp.dcom.sys.cisco, www.securityie.com, forums.cisco.com.

It seems it is not possible at all.
