 Attribute type: A string in the following format <keyword>=<value>
Access Accept attributes
This table lists all attributes supported in Access Accept packets for each authentication
type.
Descriptions
 Acct-Interim-Interval (32-bit unsigned integer): When present, enables the
transmission of RADIUS accounting requests of the Interim Update type. Specify the
number of seconds between each transmission.
 Class (string): As defined in RFC 2865.
 EAP-Message (string): Note that the content will not be read as the RADIUS Access
Accept overrides whatever indication is contained inside this packet.
 Idle-Timeout (32-bit unsigned integer): Maximum idle time in seconds allowed for the
user. Once reached, the user session is terminated with termination-cause IDLE-
TIMEOUT. Omitting the attribute or specifying 0 disables the feature.
 Session-Timeout (32-bit unsigned integer): Maximum time a session can be active. After
this interval:
 802.1X clients are automatically re-authenticated.
