sending additional attributes
I have been asked to modify our existing radius deployment by adding an attribute that would be sent back to the NAS clients in order to improve traffic reporting. We want to be able to Change Interim-Update settings to 1 minutes. My Question is where would that be done? Does that mean simply changing this section:
raddb/attrs # #strictrealm # Reply-Message =* ANY, # Session-Timeout <= 86400, # Idle-Timeout <= 600, # Acct-Interim-Interval >= 300, # Acct-Interim-Interval <= 3600
Or is it more complex requiring an additional column for radreply? Thank you, Ryan
Thank you Alan. So, If I understand you correctly, then, adding the additional attribute to a user in radreply would be one way, but that affects just the one user. If I added a new group in radgroupreply, then it would be the default for a ³group² of users who all fell under that requirement, and I can specify all the attributes that I want, like the particular one I mentioned. As far as the NAS client is concerned, however, they send the "Acct-Interim-Interval² attribute set for 30-minutes, I don¹t know what they are using as clients, but in your experience, is it possible for the client side to set two different time intervals for such accounting purposes? Say like if they have two different kinds of data products, one that requires 30-minute and another that requires less? Thanks again, if you have any ideas. RADIUS is still quite a new field for me, and there always seems to be interesting corner cases. Rgds, Ryan On 7/23/14, 11:10 AM, "A.L.M.Buxey@lboro.ac.uk" <A.L.M.Buxey@lboro.ac.uk> wrote:

there are many ways... I'd use unlang in your config or use the users file or add another attribute to the radreply (it wouldnt be a new column)

the accounting is done/controlled by the NAS...and some NASes will accept policies sent from the RADIUS server so you can change such values. alan
