greetings, i am very close to my deadline and stil can't figure out how to retrieve some user specific informations from freeRadius.

for example: how to construct a request packet to freeRadius that would respond me with a packet in which would be user status (active, expired, disabled, online)?

i really searched through tons of references but couldnt find anything remotely close,

thank you for your support, David

No wonder. This is not radius, it's administration. 1. active, expired, disabled - you would normally place a user in a group of such accounts. If you need this information in radius reply you can configure a group specific Reply-Message (if you use Expiration attribute instead of a group for expired accounts, the message is generated by default). But you would normally query the database to see which group is user in rather than to try a login. 2. online - a) radwho. It will list all the users that radius "thinks" are online. But you should query NAS if user is online. Radius information is bit less reliable. 2. online - b) radius.log. Configure Simultaneous-Use and if user is online a message will be generated in the log (and request will be rejected). Again, attempting login with user details is a strange way of checking user status. You would normally use such information from the logs if user complains about trouble connecting. I hope this will be of some use to you. Ivan Kalik Kalik Informatika ISP
