Hello Brian -
For your first question, you can use the AuthBy SQLRADIUS clause for your radius proxy targets, and you can use a Client DEFAULT to match any number of client devices.
<Client DEFAULT>
.....
</Client>
See section 6.45 in the Radiator 3.6 reference manual ("doc/ref.html").
For your second question, you can send the radiusd process a HUP signal to perform a warm restart.
See section 7 in the manual.
regards
Hugh

Hi
I've just deployed Radiator Radius in my workplace but am facing some problems with having to make changes so often and creating many downtimes on my servers. Would appreciate if you can help me with the following questions. Thanks
First Question
I'm doing proxy radius to multiple host and I want to minimize having to configure the Radius Host each time a new RAS is deployed, by default the Radiator will forward all Radius Attributes to the Radius host and on the Radius host I would need to configure the NAS-IP so that it will accept the authentication/accounting packet from the RAS Client. I'm looking at how to minimize changes made on the Radius Host as I would need to restart the Radius Host whenever a change is made. Can I configure the Radiator in such a way that it will strip off the NAS-IP and replace it with its own IP as the NAS-IP so that the Radius host will only see one NAS-IP or RAS Client IP? In this way I'll never need to add RAS Client on the Radius host. Or is there any other better way to tackle this? Thanks
eg
RAS1 à Radiator1 à Radius1
RAS2 à Radiator1 à Radius2
RAS3 à Radiator1 à Radius3
Second Question
Can I configure the Radiator to re-read the config file or clear the cache at regular interval so that any changes made on the config file can be refreshed and take effect without having to restart the processes which also means downtime needed, I'm trying to figure out how the Radiator can be configured to minimize downtime. Thanks
Regards
Brian
