and agree to the license agreement in the file "license.txt".
To register for a license, please refer to the file
"register.txt".
Enhancements in Ver 1.2
=======================
Universal XTACACS Server Ver 1.2 adds a number of important
features to Ver 1.1, including :
- CHAP and ARAP support (PAP is already supported in Ver 1.1)
- Ver 1.2 includes an accounting utility to generate usage
reports from the log file. Universal Networks will release
Source code (in Visual Basic 3.0) to registered users via
Email upon request. So users can customize the reports
to fit their own needs.
- Ver 1.2 also has a Login User Monitor, which displays in
real time who are currently logged into the system.
- No pre-defined maximum number of users. In practice, the
CPU speed, disk space and memory limits the maximum number of
users that can be used. With 5000 users on a 486/66 with 8MB,
the average response time is around 0.6 second.
- You can now disable the Universal XTACACS Server's start up
login. This is useful if you want the XTACACS Server to start
up automatically once the server PC is powered up. Of course
you need the XTACACS Manager privilege to configure that.
- Ver 1.2 will authenticate any connection request (eg. Telnet)
using the authorized address list. Ver 1.1 will always permit
connection requests.
