Hello all, I have recently subscribed to this group, and have been reading
and following the threads that have come in the past few days or so. We are
thinking about bringing our radius servers in-house (currrently outsourced)
and have a couple questions, if someone doesn't mind answering them.
1. Will FreeRadius log accumulated minutes of use per user, and stick them
in a file somewhere for monthly downloading?
No, you'll need to use a log-parser, or better yet, store in an SQL table
and then you can generate all kinds of reports/outputs to analyze your
data.
2. I have not looked at the front end or the GUI of FreeRadius yet, but is
it fairly simple to add/remove customers/users at will?
There is no GUI to FreeRADIUS. It is configured via simple plain text
files. Depending on your method for authenticating users ( from system
passwords, SQL, LDAP, others ) there are numerous ways to manage users,
but that is outside the scope of the Radius server.
3. Do I need anything like MySQL installed on the server I plan on using,
or is FreeRadius basically self-contained?
For plain-text files, it is self contained. If you want to use SQL or
LDAP or something else, you'll need to have that installed, but none of
those are *required* to make FreeRADIUS run.
