Alan, Good question. Today I am using Radius to auth again a text file, which I cut-and-pasted. I am a novice beyond that. I will ask for clarification and will search around for "reply message" and "VSA". If you have any pointers, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

...

I am being asked by my server load balancing vendor to send a "MONITOR" health-check, which should respond with "MONITOR" back. Does anyone know if Free Radius supports this option/ability?

how do they want this MONITOR to be sent back? as a reply message or some VSA ? *anything* is pretty much possible ;-)

The load balancer sends the health-check on udp/1813 with only "Monitor" in the payload (per a sniffer capture). From my understanding - this health-check is not a properly formatted radius packet? The expected response is the exact same - a packet from udp/1813 with only "Monitor" in the payload. Is this possible with Free Radius with a reply message?

Ask the vendor if they do RADIUS. There's no "MONITOR" in RADIUS.

If they don't like such questions, point out that the people on this list have written most of the recent RADIUS specifications.
