Hello
We are currently using freeradius to authenticate dialup users. We are
investigating several wasy of improving the service offered to the dialup
users and have encountered several issues: -
1. The Called-Station-Id is a 4-digit number in the detail log file.
While testing authentication based on the Called Telephone number, the
Called-Station-Id had to be specified as "1300" instead of "2131300" in
the users file .
If we have two PRI lines , say 3120101 and 2130101, the Called-Station-Id
will be seen as "0101" in both cases. So we'll not be able to
differentiate between the two numbers. Is there a way to configure
freeradius or Cisco5350 RAS to use a 7-digit number as Called-Station-Id.
The Calling -Station-Id however is a 7-digit number.
2. I have also tested the Login-Time, Max-Daily-Session and
Max-Monthly-Session attributes. If the user is dialing outside the
timeframe set in the users file or has exceeded his daily/monthly quota,
he will not get connected. Excerpt of radius log file below : -
Thu Oct 6 15:26:18 2005 : Auth: Invalid user (rlm_counter: Maximum daily
usage
time reached): [steve/<CHAP-Password>] (from client as port 255 cli
2117039)
As administrator we'll know why the user got disconnected .
For the user side now, how can we inform the user that
i) he has exceeded his quota and that he should replenish his account. or
ii) he's dialing outside the timeframe he paid for.
iii) he's got xxx seconds of connection time left
Are there any scripts that will interact with freeradius and send these
users an email or sms?
3. Does dialup admin work with plain text users file ?
Thanx in advance for your help.
