Many Radiator customers are using this feature successfully. You will need to
configure the following:

# Configure SessionDatabase


DBSource ...
DBUsername ...
DBAuth ...
...


# Add NasType to Clients


NasType ...
...


And then you will have to configure whatever is required for the NasType
checking ie. SNMP communities, etc.

You may also be interested in the radacct.cgi and radwho.cgi scripts that will
query the SQL database and display the results in a web browser.

(RADIATOR) Question regarding Session-Limit database

1999-09-01 Thread David Lloyd

Hello, I'm considering using the Session-Limit feature to limit
simultanious usage, with an external MySQL seesion-database and
user-database to allow me to run two Radiator servers (one primary, one
backup).

We have 4 different NAS types, and I would like to set them each up to
'talk' to Radiator to keep the database current.

I was wondering, have other people run a setup like this?  Has anyone had
any problems with the reliability of the Session-Limit (letting people on
when they shouldn't, or blocking access unneccissarily)?  Has anyone had
success with multiple NAS types?

I just want to make sure I'm not going to attempt the impossible. :-)
