Problem with Junos 8.5 accounting message

Dear all !

 

I have 02 router: 01 using version 8.5 and 01 using version higher than 10.4 We have 01 Steel-Belt Radius Server version 6.1 I have implemented AAA solution:

- For authentication and authorization, both router is running as expect.

- For accounting, we see that there are different between 02 router as below:

 

Router running Junos version higher than 10.4: In accounting start/interim-update/stop message, router always return attribute User-Name with value = user login as expect 1/ Accounting Start

            0x0000: fec7

 

But Router running Junos verion 8.5, it only return attribute User-Name in accouting Start message with Value=Juniper-Local-User-Name which is configured on router. This problem isn't as expect because we need to monitor which user login to Router in accounting message.

Currently, router running Junos 8.5 cannot upgrade to higher version because of flash size.

 

I  have searched Junos document and there isn't any different in configuration guide.

 

My question is:

- From which version Juniper change this behavior or is it software bug ?

- Is there any way to configure Router running Junos 8.5 to return attribute User-Name with Value=user login and return attribute User-Name in both Start/Stop/Interim accounting message.

- If not, Is there any way to workaround to return other attribute with Value= user login in Start/Stop/Interim accounting message

 

Please help me

 

Thanks in advanced

Re: Problem with Junos 8.5 accounting message

Hi Nam

 

This is an expected behavior in Junos 8.5 where you do not see User-Name for Accounting interim/Stop messages.

The code of Junos was improved and from 10.4Rx, you should see correct values.

Moreover, Junos 8.5 is end of support already, consider for an upgrade to 11.4Rx.
