Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: asterisk+radius
Oh this is sad.. I'm familiar with radius.. and was hoping to be able to use asterisk with freeradius to be able to do call accounting and billing.. so you're telling me this is now not a good idea? Am I better off (for now) parsing the csv report each month?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: asterisk+radius
I agree, why run to DBs. On the other hand, I have spoken with several people asking about radius support for asterisk because they have a billing solution that uses data from the radius servers to populate their billing DB. -Michael On 3/17/05 11:00 AM, Matthew Boehm [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Kamran Ahmad wrote: i have written app for billing with asterisk. what is the problem in using radius. kamran Its a pain and redundant.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: asterisk+radius
set asterisk to log into database directly via there are mysql , postgresql and odbc drivers available. You dont need radius at all, for billing and accounting all u need is a frontend to database On Thu, 17 Mar 2005 12:29:34 -0500, Matt wrote: Oh this is sad..

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Re: asterisk+radius
Because some of us, are already using radius for other purposes (radius also has authentication and we could use it with other GWs vendors) as a single solution, in our case, we already have radius for our GWs and Raidus using Oracle and I don't want to use direct connection to Oracle at all.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: asterisk+radius
Hello, Im actually deciding if I will use asterisk+radius for AAA purposes or use logging directly to mysql and using Asterisk+RealTime to store SIP users to mysql also. Question is, what's the best way to disconnect a user, if for example, he runs out of credits. thanks.
