As far as I learned you should not user these Realms but two "Handlers",
one for Authentification-Request and one for Accounting-Requests.
Search the archive, there was several similar requests (one from me) in
the last days.

Sure - on your Authentication server, add something like this:



Host your.accounting.server
Secret youracctsecret


If you are currently using Realms, change them to Handlers like this:

  ->  

You will also need to be careful with ordering the Handlers so the more
specific appear in the configuration file before the more general.

Note that the Request-Type check item appeared in Radiator 2.15 (or
alternatively there is a patch for Radiator 2.14.1).

Of course, you will also need to create a Client clause on your Accounting
server to match the AuthBy RADIUS above.

(RADIATOR) Forwarding accounting only

2000-03-06 Thread Dave Close

We run two copies of Radiator on different systems. One is intended as 
our primary authentication server, the other as our only accounting 
server. The accounting server acts as a secondary authentication 
server, though that is not its intended purpose. For our own POPs, this 
works quite well.

We do have a few locations where we don't control the NAS and the 
requests come to us through proxy servers. Although we carefully 
explain our requirements, these sites frequently send accounting data 
to the wrong server. I'd like to find a way to work around these 
configuration errors without waiting for the other administrators to 
take action.

Is there a way to ask Radiator to forward only accounting requests from 
the authentication server to the accounting server? Obviously, I don't 
want to forward authentication requests.
