(Optional) Configuring User Information Synchronization

Context

If communication is interrupted because the network between the device and Portal server is disconnected or the Portal server is faulty, online Portal authentication users cannot go offline. Therefore, user information on the device and on the Portal server may be inconsistent and accounting may be inaccurate.

The user information synchronization function ensures that user information on the Portal server is the same as that on the device, ensuring accurate accounting.

This function is valid for only external Portal servers.

For Layer 3 Portal authentication, the device currently can synchronize user information with the Huawei Agile Controller-Campus or iMaster NCE-Campus server. When the device is connected to other Portal servers, user information may fail to be synchronized and users cannot go offline in real time. In this case, you can run the cut access-user command or use the NMS or RADIUS DM to force users to go offline.

Procedure

Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
Run web-auth-server server-name
The Portal server template view is displayed.
Run user-sync [ interval interval-period | max-times times ] ^*
User information synchronization is enabled.

By default, user information synchronization is disabled.
