Abstract:
Determining the domain name associated with a virtual circuit may includes receiving, at an Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) server, a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) authentication request comprising a unique identifier comprising a virtual channel ID, and determining whether a domain configuration override attribute exists in a virtual circuit profile associated with a DSLAM port used to receive the PPP authentication request. Determining the domain name further includes, if the domain configuration override attribute exists in the virtual circuit profile or if the PPP authentication request does not comprise a domain name, returning a domain name associated with the unique identifier, and if the domain configuration override attribute does not exist in the virtual circuit profile, returning a PPP domain name used in the PPP authentication request.
