• AttrName
• AttrType
• AttrValue

The array indices start at 0 and end at AttrCount - 1.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Integer

AttrType Property (RADIUS Control)

The type of the attribute.

Syntax

radiuscontrol.AttrType(AttrIndex)[=integer]

Default Value

0

Remarks

The type of the attribute.

This property identifies the type of the attribute. Common values are:

The AttrIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the AttrCount property.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Integer

AttrName Property (RADIUS Control)

A text description of the attribute type.

Syntax

radiuscontrol.AttrName(AttrIndex)

Default Value

""

Remarks

A text description of the attribute type.

This property holds a text description of the AttributeType.

The AttrIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the AttrCount property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

String

AttrValue Property (RADIUS Control)

The attribute value.

Syntax

radiuscontrol.AttrValue(AttrIndex)[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

The attribute value.

The AttrIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the AttrCount property.

To read or write binary data to the property, a Variant (Byte Array) version is provided in .AttrValueB.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Binary String

AuthMechanism Property (RADIUS Control)

The authentication mechanism to be used when connecting to the RADIUS server.

Syntax

radiuscontrol.AuthMechanism[=integer]

Possible Values

ramMSCHAPv2(0), 
ramPAP(1), 
ramPEAPv0(2), 
ramEAPTLS(3)

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property defines the authentication mechanism used when connecting to the RADIUS server. Possible values are:

Data Type

Integer

EAPAnonymousIdentity Property (RADIUS Control)

The identity to use when using PEAP or EAP-TLS.

Syntax

radiuscontrol.EAPAnonymousIdentity[=string]

Default Value

"anonymous"

Remarks

This property specifies the initial identity to use when establishing a secure connection using PEAP. When AuthMechanism is set to amPEAPv0 or emEAPTLS the connection begins in plaintext. This property specifies the user name (if any) that is sent in the initial plaintext request. This allows the true identity of the user to be hidden.

If set, the value will be sent in the plaintext connection request. If not set (empty string) the User will be sent. Authentication servers may make use of a value that includes the domain to which the user will authenticate, such as anonymous@example.com. In that case the user's identity is still hidden, however the authentication server will have knowledge of the domain for the user which it may make use of.

Once a secure connection is established the user's true identity is sent to the authentication server over the TLS encrypted connection. This property specifies only the identity sent in the initial plaintext request.

The default value is anonymous.

This setting is only applicable when AuthMechanism is set to amPEAPv0 or amEAPTLS.

Data Type

String

LocalHost Property (RADIUS Control)

The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.

Syntax

radiuscontrol.LocalHost[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the control initiate connections (or accept in the case of server controls) only through that interface. It is recommended to provide an IP address rather than a hostname when setting this property to ensure the desired interface is used.

If the control is connected, the LocalHost property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

Note: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.

Data Type

String

LocalPort Property (RADIUS Control)

This property includes the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port in the local host where UDP binds.

Syntax

radiuscontrol.LocalPort[=integer]

Default Value

0

Remarks

The LocalPort property must be set before UDP is activated (Active is set to True). This instructs the control to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine.

Setting it to 0 (default) enables the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by the LocalPort property after the connection is established.

LocalPort cannot be changed once the control is Active. Any attempt to set the LocalPort property when the control is Active will generate an error.

The LocalPort property is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port on the client side.

Data Type

Integer

Password Property (RADIUS Control)

The user's password.

Syntax

radiuscontrol.Password[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property specifies the password for the User. This must be set before calling Authenticate.

Data Type

String

RemoteHost Property (RADIUS Control)

This property includes the address of the remote host. Domain names are resolved to IP addresses.

Syntax

radiuscontrol.RemoteHost[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

The RemoteHost property specifies the IP address (IP number in dotted internet format) or domain name of the remote host.

If RemoteHost is set to 255.255.255.255, the control broadcasts data on the local subnet.

If the RemoteHost property is set to a domain name, a DNS request is initiated, and upon successful termination of the request, the RemoteHost property is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

If UseConnection is set to True, the RemoteHost must be set before the control is activated (Active is set to True).

Data Type

String

RemotePort Property (RADIUS Control)

The port for the RADIUS server (default is 1812).

Syntax

radiuscontrol.RemotePort[=integer]

Default Value

1812

Remarks

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the control, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

DoEvents Method (RADIUS Control)

SSLServerAuthentication Event (RADIUS Control)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

Sub radiuscontrol_SSLServerAuthentication(CertEncoded As String, CertSubject As String, CertIssuer As String, Status As String, Accept As Boolean)

Remarks

During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

SSLStatus Event (RADIUS Control)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.
