Hi there,
it seems like Radiator handles really badly the Ascend event 'Coldstart'.
let me explain this:
The Ascend NAS is supposed to send this Event-Request at every reboot, so that the
server can
cleanup the session table.
the debug says:
*** Received from 212.129.4.13 port 6974 ....
Code: Ascend-Access-Event-Request
Identifier: 190
Authentic: <179><249><24><8><159><177><220>nF-<10><186><0><228>H<2>
Attributes:
NAS-IP-Address = 212.129.4.13
Ascend-Event-Type = Ascend-ColdStart
*** Sending to 212.129.4.13 port 6974 ....
Code: Ascend-Access-Event-Response
Identifier: 190
Authentic: <179><249><24><8><159><177><220>nF-<10><186><0><228>H<2>
Attributes:
This could look OK, but the Ascend documentation says:
Ascend-Event-Type (150)
Description: Indicates one of the following:
A cold-start notification, informing the accounting server that the MAX TNT has
started up
A session event, informing the authentication server that a session has begun
Usage: For a cold-start notification, Ascend-Event-Type=Ascend-Coldstart (1). For a
session
event, Ascend-Event-Type=Ascend-Session-Event (2).
Dependencies: In a cold-start notification, the MAX TNT sends values for
NAS-Identifier,
Ascend-Event-Type, and Ascend-Number-Sessions in an Ascend-Access-Event-Request packet
(code
33). The RADIUS accounting server must send back an Ascend-Access-Event-Response
packet (code
34) with the correct identifier to the MAX TNT.
That means the radius server has to send a NAS-Identifier (or something like, this is
quite not
clear) for the NAS to accept the response.
On our config it looks like the NAS doesn't accept the response from Radiator and keeps
retransmitting the Event-Request.
I think I'll have to code a patch (better than a hook indeed) so that Radiator handles
this
correctly.
What do you think about it ? Has someone here already face this problem ?
Tchuss.
