Re: Accounting Part is not working
Hello! In the last couple of days i have noticed that the part of accounting is not working, I am using mikrotik as a NAS, when a user logs on and gets authenticated all works fine but when the user logs off the user never gets to Radius to stop the accounting. If i reboot MT NAS it kicks all user off, I dont know what is causing it, if my database is big will it do that ? if so how do i sort it out? If you find out let me know I'm doing the same thing... same problem.. In my early days of experimenting with accounting I had a similar problem. In my case it was a misconfiguration of the NAS. I used a Cisco NAS and told it to send dot1x accounting start-stop messages. This lead to it sending the tickets only when a dot1x action took place, i.e. on a proper user login and a EAPoL-Logoff. This does not apply when a user just disconnects without logging off, i.e. just unplugging the cable or powering his system down. Do enable the NAS to send acct packets then as well, I had to activate system accounting start-stop messages as well, which send Acct messages on system events, i.e.: cable unplugged, lost association etc. Hope that helps, Stefan Winter -- Stefan WINTER Fondation RESTENA - Réseau Téléinformatique de l'Education Nationale et de la Recherche Ingénieur réseau et système 6, rue Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi L-1359 Luxembourg email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tél.: +352 424409-33 http://www.restena.lu fax: +352 422473 - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

FreeRADIUS logs whatever accounting data the NAS sends. If the NAS isn't sending data, FreeRADIUS can't log it. Fix the NAS. Nothing else will solve the problem.
