Overview:
The 8e6 Authenticator has two different ways to provide configuration options: (a) via command-line options, and (b) via separate authenticat.cfg configuration file. This article specifically about use of 8e6 Authenticator agent with separate configuration file.
The example contents should be placed inside file named "authenticat.cfg" (note: no 'e') and placed in same windows share directory as the authenticat.exe executable.
Specifics:
When using separate 8e6 Authenticator configuration file, you will have the following two files located on central windows fileshare:
- authenticat.exe
- authenticat.cfg
Also, the single-line entry in domain logon script will NOT contain any command-line options.
Example syntax:
start "" \\<server>\<share>\authenticat.exe
Example: authenticat.cfg
Notes:
- the R3000 virtual "authentication" IP address must be set within the RA[] parameter. This is NOT the IP addresss of LAN interface.
- the RV[] line assumes local network addresses are NOT within the 192.168.0.0/16 subnet.
- the only required lines are RA[] and RV[] -- the top two lines. The remaining parameters are listed with default value.
