RE: About Monthly Time Limits

13 Mar 2006

      Please let me know if you can tell what I'm doing wrong.

I do authorization and authentication all from LDAP.

Here's my line in ldap.attrmap:
replyItem       Ldap-UserDn                     dn

Here's my counter config:

counter monthly {
                filename = ${raddbdir}/db.monthly
                key = Ldap-UserDn
                count-attribute = Acct-Session-Time
                reset = monthly
                counter-name = Monthly-Session-Time
                check-name = Max-Monthly-Session
                allowed-servicetype = Framed-User
                cache-size = 5000
        }

But I get this in my radius logs when I logout:

rlm_counter: Packet Unique ID = '549154f744531b54'
rlm_counter: Could not find the key-attribute in the request. Returning
NOOP.

I hope I'm not missing something really simple.

Thanks
Ben

Subject: RE: About Monthly Time Limits
This is a somewhat related question.
Can I use an attribute that is not in the Stop record as the key for a
monthly counter?  For example, I would like to make the Ldap-UserDn
attribute the key for the counter.  Is there a way to make that value
available to my counter?
Thanks
Sure.. if you use LDAP for Authentication and Authorisation ! there is
ldap.attrmap file which maps the LDAP attributes to freeradius attributes.
The key is usually username ( or something else specific for a user or
machine ).
I have such setup in a boarding home and it works like a charm ;)
