Hi list ,
I have set up a wlan using : freeradius-1.1.4
(peap-eap/mschapv2-authentication), AccessPoint-3Com7250 and windows xp
wireless users. My AP has the option for accounting and i have set it
on. I logged the accounting info in the radius database in the radacct
table to be more specific. When a wireless user connected to the wlan i
am executing the following sql query:
select UserName , NASIPAddress , AcctStartTime , AcctStopTime ,
AcctSessionTime , AcctInputOctets , AcctOutputOctets from radacct ;
and the output is :
+----------+--------------+---------------------+---------------------+---
--------------+-----------------+------------------+
| UserName | NASIPAddress | AcctStartTime | AcctStopTime |
AcctSessionTime | AcctInputOctets | AcctOutputOctets |
+----------+--------------+---------------------+---------------------+---
--------------+-----------------+------------------+
| sony | 10.0.0.10 | 2007-01-15 22:33:12 | 0000-00-00 00:00:00
| 41 | 718 | 164 |
+----------+--------------+---------------------+---------------------+---
--------------+-----------------+------------------+
After
If the user select from his wireless card software to disconnect from
the specific wlan and make the same query to the database i can see
that the AcctStopTime have a specific value and accounting for this
user
has stopped. However if the user does not use his/her wireless
software to disconnect from the wlan and tun-off the wlan switcher
of his/her card the accounting is continued (AcctSessionTime is
counting) on freeradius but the AcctInputOctets and AcctOutputOctets
stop counting. Why is that happening ? How should i know when the user
is connected in the wlan and the user was just turned-off his/her
switch
of wlan ?
If your NAS does not tell radius that the user has disconnected
RADIUS will not know....

Hi Tas, Peter , James and thanks for your reply ,
I noticed that when the wireless user turned-off his wireless card the
AP stores him/her Mac-Address for 10 minutes in a table (station table)
and then dropped the Mac-Address. However freeradius continued to do
accounting for this user over 2 hours. I read about the Idle - Timeout
attribute but i don't know how to set it on. I authenticate my users
from the local file users. Do you think my AP doesn't say nothing to
freeradius after the mac-address drop? There is nothing in the AP
web-configuration which could set it on and solve the problem. If the
problem is the nas there is not a solution ?
Thanks a lot for your time....
