Hello Jerome -
It would be simplest if you could send us a copy of your patch and we will roll it into the base code.
thanks and regards
Hugh

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 ?
