Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG

Description

When the following configuration is used;

set service ipoe-server authentication radius dynamic-author key 'ssss'
set service ipoe-server authentication radius dynamic-author server 'ipv4'

The ipoe-server fails to start with the following error code;
Jul 23 16:19:07 bras-vy01-adl systemd[1]: [email protected]: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 5.
Jul 23 16:19:07 bras-vy01-adl systemd[1]: Stopped Accel-PPP - High performance VPN server application for Linux.
Jul 23 16:19:07 bras-vy01-adl systemd[1]: [email protected]: Start request repeated too quickly.
Jul 23 16:19:07 bras-vy01-adl systemd[1]: [email protected]: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

The ipoe-server will resume operation once the dynamic-author is removed. It is not enough to delete the key and server.
delete service ipoe-server authentication radius dynamic-author
