[VOPRadius] "Ghost users causing simultaneous login limit exceeded" (wholesale ports)

[Steven Bastardi]

Ramsey, Sylvain is investigating this concept as a possible solution.  The negative comments I've heard so far are as follows: It would not work if the user has their caller id blocked. It would clean up ghost users allowing the actual user online, however, connect time reports would be incorrect since there would be no way to know when the user had actually disconnected. The way I see it this solution would still solve the majority of my problems.   Steven Bastardi The Home Town Network Inc. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ramsey Abu-Absi To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2004 4:26 PM Subject: [VOPRadius] "Ghost users causing simultaneous login limit exceeded" (wholesale ports) At 11:19 AM 5/20/2004, Steven Bastardi wrote: This operational issue is not going to go away unless a creative solution is implemented.  In my opinion just such a solution was suggested some time ago on this mail list.  The recommendation is as follows: " if the calling station-id was stored with the rest of the users information in the online users table in radius, a ghost user could be cleaned up when they try to reconnect from the same phone number."  The assumption is that it would not be impossible to be simultaneous from the same originating number. What Steven wrote above is a clearer way of saying what I was trying to say a few posts back: Now this brings up a question I hadn't thought of before:  Can VOP perform the same logic (i.e. check the called-from number, and if it is the same as the active session, allow the user to log in)?  This would also provide us with a fix. Steven, have you and Sylvain been able to make any progress on this?  It seems to me that this would be a very valuable feature for the user base.
