# AAA Authorization

The AAA Authorization monitors authorization statistics of the server. The statistics is the delta value(present value - previous value) for a polling interval and the unit of measurement is "Nos/Interval".

## Procedure

1. Right-click the device, then select AAA.

2. Select a row of the Server Configuration Table, then click Authorization.

The following information appears:

> Requests (casAuthorRequests)

> Request Timeouts (casAuthorRequestTimeouts)

> Unexpected Resp (casAuthorUnexpectedResponses)

> Server Error Resp (casAuthorServerErrorResponses)

> Incorrect Resp (casAuthorIncorrectResponses)

> Trans Successes (casAuthorTransactionSuccesses)

> Trans Failure (casAuthorTransactionFailures)

### Requests (casAuthorRequests)

Number of authorization requests sent to server since it was made active.

Retransmissions due to timeout requests are counted as distinct requests.

It is not instantiated for protocols that do not support a distinct authorization function.

### Request Timeouts (casAuthorRequestTimeouts)

Number of authorization requests timed out since server was made active.

Timeout results in retransmission request. Retransmissions stop when number of requests reaches maximum.

It is not instantiated for protocols that do not support a distinct authorization function.

### Unexpected Resp (casAuthorUnexpectedResponses)

Number of unexpected authorization responses received from server since it was made active; for example, a delayed response to a timed out request.

It is not instantiated for protocols that do not support a distinct authorization function.

### Server Error Resp (casAuthorServerErrorResponses)

Number of server ERROR authorization responses received from server since it was made active.

These responses show that server identified an error in its authorization operation.

It is not instantiated for protocols that do not support a distinct authorization function.

### Incorrect Resp (casAuthorIncorrectResponses)

Number of unprocessed authorization responses since server was made active.

Reasons are inability to decrypt response, invalid fields, or an invalid response to the request.

It is not instantiated for protocols that do not support a distinct authorization function.

### Trans Successes (casAuthorTransactionSuccesses)

Number of successful authorization transactions with this server since it was made active.

A transaction includes multiple retransmission requests when timeouts occur.

A transaction is successful when server responds with either an authorization pass or fail.

It is not instantiated for protocols that do not support a distinct authorization function.

### Trans Failure (casAuthorTransactionFailures)

Number of failed authorization transactions with this server since it was made active.

A transaction includes multiple retransmission requests when timeouts occur.

A transaction failure occurs when resends reach maximum or the server aborts the transaction.

It is not instantiated for protocols that do not support a distinct authorization function.
