Hello Chris -

I am running Radiator on BSDI4.1. I have the accounting logging to a file via AcctLogFileName in the cfg. We use a billmax billing system that needs this information sent to it, to be added to its db. Can I fork the accounting so that it will send the info to Billmax AND keep logging to my files?

 

This is very easy to do. Depending on how you want to send the data to Billmax (you can either proxy or write directly to the database). Either way you just need to add a second AuthBy module and handle authentication and accounting differently. Something like this:

# define AuthBy clauses

<AuthBy ....>

        Identifier NormalAuth

        ....

</AuthBy>

<AuthBy ....>

        Identifier SendToBillmax

        .....

</AuthBy>

# configure Handlers

<Handler Request-Type = Accounting-Request>

        AuthBy SendToBillmax

        AcctLogFileName ....

        ....

</Handler>

<Handler>

        AuthBy NormalAuth

        .....

</Handler>
