I have a query
ReplyDeleteSuppose a client sends a AAR packet with invalid userbane/password which is not present in server data base then AAA should contain which result code
Hi Aman,
DeleteDiameter Server can reply with diameter base protocol result-code then (DIAMETER_AUTHORIZATION_REJECTED 5003 User can not be authorized), along with Reply-Message AVP that contain reason of failure (Incorrect Username & Password)that is to be displayed to USER.
Details as follow:
The Reply-Message AVP (AVP Code 18) is of type UTF8String and contains text that MAY be displayed to the user. When used in an AA-Answer message with a successful Result-Code AVP, it indicates success. When found in an AAA message with a Result-Code other han DIAMETER_SUCCESS, the AVP contains a failure message.
Hope we are inline with solution
Thanks for your query.
Happy to help you again.
