Yes, I'm under this slow performance trouble now.... Actually I tried let it not going into jradius and completing my easy job only in FreeRADIUS yesterday. And it did it well. It can finish 10000 auth request in 13 sec.
Exactly.
However, our goal is more than that ... the brief situation is that user will be redirected to our captive portal during pre-auth if they got IP address, then doing UAM authentication by web portal to our policy manager server(built in FreeRADIUS+JRadius).
If your requirement is more than 30 authentications per second, then you can't do a java policy manager. Java is nice for some things. It's *not* the right choice for fast network traffic.
We'll do some policy based control with our WiFi gateway like CoA request. Then would do subscribers' accounting processing(identify some attributes in accounting packet then modify its value then send to backend acct server).
The server can originate CoA packets. See Fajar's message.
So supposed I stop using jradius, what kinds of module would you recommend me to fulfill these jobs such as that?
It depends on what you want to do.
Or actually FreeRADIUS can satisfy it by itself? Can it send CoA request to WiFi gateway after receiving some predefined attribute value with web portal while it sending access request to FreeRADIUS? I plan to make it become a policy manager.
FreeRADIUS *is* a policy manager. That's what it does. Alan DeKok.
