6.1 Accept Authentication Type

Accept is the simplest authentication type. Users with this authentication type will be authenticated successfully without checking any credentials. Actually this means that only username is required for authentication.

This authentication type is used for each ‘users’ entry, whose LHS contains

 
Auth-Type = Accept

This authentication type can be used for guest accounts, e.g. the following profile in ‘users’:

 
guest   Auth-Type = Accept,
                Simultaneous-Use = 10
        Service-Type = Framed-User,
                Framed-Protocol = PPP

allows up to 10 simultaneous guest PPP accounts. To log in using such guest account it is sufficient to use username ‘guest’ and any password.
