Re: [Help] How to control the authentication session timeout
Controlled by the NAS and/or the RADIUS server depending on NAS settings. ie you should be able to set session-timeout on the NAS and then override/update the value on the RADIUS server depending on your chosen policies...eg for particular users/clients etc...and if proxying you may have agreements or filtering in place to set/agree the value alan -- This smartphone uses free WiFi around the world with eduroam, now that's what I call smart. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Re: [Help] How to control the authentication session timeout
Hi, In which config files do i need to look / edit / add the session timeout in freeradius? that would depend on how your configuration is done and what options and methods you are using. 'users' file is basic way, SQL tables are another, unlang is yet another way...eg update reply { Session-Timeout : = 7200 } stick this into the post-auth section of raddb/sites-available/default (if thats your virtual server in use) alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Re: [Help] How to control the authentication session timeout
Thanks Alan, let me try that. So i can apply this only if the Wireless AP is sending packet with Session-Timeout too right? I don't see this setting in Meraki Wireless AP. I'm using ldap and all the authentication just simple username / password from ldap. Is the the exact syntax to apply with? or we should use update reply-message{ Session-Timeout : = 7200 } Thanks in advance Danny On Tue, Apr 23, 2013 at 8:55 PM, a.l.m.bu...@lboro.ac.uk wrote: Hi, In which config files do i need to look / edit / add the session timeout in freeradius? that would depend on how your configuration is done and what options and methods you are using.

Re: [Help] How to control the authentication session timeout
Hi, Thanks Alan, let me try that. So i can apply this only if the Wireless AP is sending packet with Session-Timeout too right? I don't see this setting in Meraki Wireless AP. as i said, depends on your settings and what the NAS is willing to take from the RADIUS server - you'll have to try it and see - or contact your vendor for technical advice/support. I'm using ldap and all the authentication just simple username / password from ldap. Is the the exact syntax to apply with? ?? this is just authentication - how you apply policy is a different issue or we should use update reply-message{ Session-Timeout : = 7200 } ?? you could try making things up. but it wont get you anywhere. alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Re: [Help] How to control the authentication session timeout
Hi, What you mean? Sorry i think you might mis-understand my previous 2 message. I mean 2 ask what is the correct syntax for update reply Is it exactly like what you said in previous email or else : update reply { Session-Timeout : = 7200 } I will search the documentation again for my question and apply it inside Post Auth. Sorry for not searching the documentation before asking, i was trying to find a quick solution :) Thanks Danny On Tue, Apr 23, 2013 at 11:08 PM, a.l.m.bu...@lboro.ac.uk wrote: Hi, Thanks again Alex, i will try your syntax. do you deliberately change words? alan -- Best Regards, Danny - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
