Re-Auth-Request-Type AVP

Re-Auth-Request-Type

The Re-Auth-Request-Type AVP (AVP Code 285) is of type Enumerated and is carried in application-specific authentication responses to inform the client of the Authorization-Lifetime expiration. If the response message contains an Authorization-Lifetime AVP with a positive value, the Re-Auth-Request-Type AVP must be carried in a response message.

The following values are defined for the Re-Auth-Request-Type AVP:

• AUTHORIZE_ONLY(0)

  A re-auth-request process is expected upon the Authorization-Lifetime expiration. This is the default value if the Re-Auth-Request-Type AVP is not carried in response messages that carry the Authorization-Lifetime.

• AUTHORIZE_AUTHENTICATE(1)

  A re-auth-request process is expected upon the Authorization-Lifetime expiration.
