Hi, this is a general question on the AAA proxy behavior Support I have following network NAS <---------shared secret A -------> AAA proxy <---------shared secret B---------> AAA server <--------------------------------shared secret C ------------------------------> I want to know when the AAA server responds to an access request received from NAS via AAA proxy, it shall encrypt the MSK, EMSK and other keys using the shared secret B(between proxy and sever) or it shall use secret C (between NAS and server). As I know that the message authenticator is changed by AAA proxy in the radius messages so that messages between NAS and proxy are authenticated using secret A while messages between proxy and server uses secret B. But does this hold true for the keys also since then the proxy will have to decrypt and encrypt all the keys in Access accept again. Can anyone please clear my doubt regarding this.

hi alan, thanks for the reply. does that mean, aaa proxy will have to parse the whole packet and then decrypt and encrypt all the keys in Access accept again ??? regards, mansi -- View this message in context: http://freeradius.1045715.n5.nabble.com/Proxy-AAA-behavior-tp3394232p3394282...

so does that mean that the aaa server has to use shared secret B (secret between aaa server and aaa proxy) to encrypt the MSK and other keys rather than shared secret C (secret between aaa server and the NAS). -- View this message in context: http://freeradius.1045715.n5.nabble.com/Proxy-AAA-behavior-tp3394232p3394930...

or rather let me put the question in this way "does NAS has security association(shared secret) with HAAA server in case there are aaa proxies in between". -- View this message in context: http://freeradius.1045715.n5.nabble.com/Proxy-AAA-behavior-tp3394232p3394936...

This list isn't a place to ask generic RADIUS questions. If you want to know how RADIUS works, the RFCs are available, and there are many documents available on the net. Alan DeKok.
