I was wondering if you know of any software that would be good for reading the radius logfile. I need two do two things. one i need to count origional logins by realm and two i need to record time online from sertain clients for example the user may log in from radius client one but that is part of their account but client two is a bonus or maybee like 800 dialup so i need to track the users time online only from that client. any help with a good way to get this info would be helpful. Thanks in Advance Jeff
(RADIATOR) PostAuthHook in an external file
Hi Hugh ! I'm working in a PostAuthHook on my system, and I was wondering if is possible to specify an external file instead of writing all the PostAuthHook code in the configuration file.

(RADIATOR) More about PostAuthHook
Hi All !
I have discovered the PostuthHook file:"filename" and works fine. I have read the
documentation, about the PostAuthHooks, and was trying to write a Hook for assigning
IP Addresses from a limited pool.
I think there are three parameters passed to the hook: the current request, the reply
packet currently being construted and the result of the authentication. How can I
access the contents of this three parameters ?
My actual PostAuthHook is a very simple program that only writes to an external file:
open(trace, '/trace.txt');
print trace "PostAuthHook working...\n";
close(trace);
I need to obtain the following in order to assign a Fixed IP Address:
- The result of the authentication: Only will continue with the
process if the authentication is right (ACCEPT).
- The Fixed IP Address assigned to the user (if exists).
- The number of users actually conected and the IP Addresses
assigned to all of them.
I use the RADONLINE database in MySQL for tracking the users connected. The
PostAuthHook will assignt he first IP Address not used from the pool to the user
(pseudo-code follows):
if (authentication_is_ok()) {
if (resultpacket_doesn't_contain_a_fixed_IP_Address) {
iplist=obtain_list_of_current_IP_Addresses();
for( ip=begin_of_pool; ipend_of_pool; ip++) {
if not_in_use(ip, list) {
ad_to_reply_packet(ip);
exit for;
}
}
}
}
Thanks in advance, best regards,
Antonio Navarro Navarro

(RADIATOR) Session Timeout Until xx:xx
Title: Session Timeout Until xx:xx Hi, The module AuthGeneric in 2.1.14 patch area states that: 28/9/99 New version of AuthGeneric supports a new format for Session-Timeout reply items:. If you have for example: Session-Timeout=until 1800 Then the Session-Timeout in the reply will be calculated as the number of seconds up until the time of day specified However, I am puzzled since I don't understand how to use this extra string in AuthBy SQL module. Is it possible to use a parameter in AuthGeneric inside AuthSQL ? Regards, Ferhat
(RADIATOR) ClearNasQuery
Title: ClearNasQuery Hi, I remember we had once discussed the same issue long time ago but could not find it in the archive logs. What I need is when the Leased Line between POP and the location where radiator resides is down, users are still on RADONLINE and also there are no STOP records arrived into the accounting table so that they still seem to be online. This is not a problem if their account is unlimited-time-account. However, if they only have xx hours per month, then it is a problem and we have to clear-nas. I can handle this using a SQL statement manually. Is there anyone done this automatically? Since the leased line is down, radiator will not receive clearnasquery request from the NAS. MRTG sending the request to radiator when the line is down? anybody tried? Another idea would be, periodically check the NAS within radiator and when it does not receive response, issue a clearnasquery? Regards, Ferhat

I too have this problem but everything works except for the information going to stdout. I've even got it authenticating the way I need it so I just ignored it.

(RADIATOR) Nasport problem
Hi all, I am having a small problem monitoring radius. I am running radiator on a NT 4.0 machine accross ODBC to a SQL 7.0 server. We are using a monitoring system call Inetmapper to monitor radius. I am not sure if anyone has used this before. Well in its authentication request it does not send a Nasport just a Username and Password and IP address. Well this causes a problem because I have our radonline table set to no nulls in the Nasport field. So I am receiving an error in the log each time it tries to check the status. What I want it to do is simply check the Username and Password no logging to radonline or to the accounting table. Just a simple Hi I am still up and running. I have tried a couple of things with no avail, but I'm not sure I am on the right track. Has anyone done something like this before? Thanks in advance.

Just because you have lost connectivity between your Radiator host and your NAS doesn't necessarily mean that you should clear the SessionDatabase. I'm also not clear on how this is going to help your users' accounting records in any case. It seems to me if you don't get a Stop from the NAS, your only option is to manually send a Stop from something like radpwtst. Or perhaps I don't understand your problem well enough?

I have tried a couple of things with no avail, but I'm not sure I am on the right track. Has anyone done something like this before? From your description, I assume Inetmapper is sending a Radius request to Radiator? If this is the case and you want to do something special for it, you should set up a special Handler to deal with it. Otherwise, you can also monitor Radiator from any SNMP monitoring system. For a special Handler you should do something like this: # handle Inetmapper requests # Client definition and Client-Id can use DNS name or IP address # but both must be the same Client inetmapper.your.domain Secret *somesecret* /Client Handler Client-Id = inetmapper.your.domain AuthBy FILE Filename %D/inetmapper.user SessionDatabase SDB-inetmapper /AuthBy /Handler # define a special SessionDatabase for inetmapper Handler # this SessionDatabase definition must appear before the existing one # this is because the *last* one defined is used by default for everything else SessionDatabase INTERNAL Identifier SDB-inetmapper /SessionDatabase # inetmapper.user file contains whatever for your inetmapper requests inetmapper Password = xx Reply-Message = "Hi - I am still up and running!" The usual caveat applies to Realms and Handlers. Do not mix Realms and Handlers in the same configuration file. If you are already using Realms, change them to Handlers like this: Realm foo.bar becomes Handler Realm = foo.bar. Also keep in mind that Handlers are scanned sequentially, so more restrictive clauses must preceed less restrictive clauses in the configuration file. hth Hugh -- Radiator: the most portable, flexible and configurable RADIUS server anywhere.

(RADIATOR) AuthBy RADIUS, write authentication to mySQL?
Hey all, I have been givin the task of using RADIATOR to AuthBy PROXY to another RADIUS server (MERIT) and then upon authentication not only write the Accounting information but to also write the Authentication information to a mySQL database. I can get RADIATOR to AuthBy PROXY and write the Accounting information into the mySQL database. However, I can't see anyway to write the Authentication information, specifically logon-id and password. I have reread the RADIATOR installation manual a number of times but I don't get it. Am I crazy or can it be done? Any suggestions would be most welcome!! George P. Jeffery # George P.

Jeff, I have a program (for Win NT) that will convert a log file into a comma-delimited text file. You can also select the dictionary attributes you want collected / discard.
