RE: Implimenting Capping with FreeRadius
I have modified the sqlcounter module to not only replying with a Session-Timeout but with another attribute - Recv-Limit in my case as it is supported by my NAS. The counter module then simply does a query on the database during the access request processing and returns the limit allowed for the user based on the maximum - used value set in the radcheck table for the user or radgroupcheck for the user's group. This works better than an external script as it will also limit the user for the current session - and it implies that he will never be able to use more than his allowed maximum Jaco van Tonder -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shawn Hamman Sent: 03 April 2006 03:23 PM To: freeradius-users@lists.freeradius.org Subject: Implimenting Capping with FreeRadius Hi, OS: Fedora C4 FR: 1.0.2-2 DB: MySQL 4.1.11-2 I was wondering if anybody has a more elegant solution to implementing capping with FreeRadius than writing a script that totals the bytes in/out in the radacct table every couple of minutes and updates the radcheck table to deny further logins?

Have a script that runs when the server receives accounting packets, and do the work there. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html

Sure. The elegant solution is to simply check the sum of the user's minutes/bytes from the radacct table in the same query that queries the radcheck table. You can either do this as a (quite complex) join or preferably inside a stored procedure. (You may wish to put appropriate indexes on the radacct table to speed things up) Cheers -- Peter Nixon http://www.peternixon.net/ PGP Key: http://www.peternixon.net/public.asc pgpNPCiXlewzQ.pgp Description: PGP signature - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
