Ok , I will do that. Just a question about Session-Timeout : if I modify the Session-Timeout for an user when it is connected , it will work dynamically ? To be clear : user connects and has a Session-Timeout of 1 hour ; after 30 mins the Session-Timeout is modified to 2 hours : the user will be disconnected after the 2 hours or after the initial Session-Timeout of 1 hour ?

Hello,

I am running a PopTop server with FreeRadius for authentification. I have configured FreeRadius to use Oracle and I can successfully authenticate the users that connect to the VPN.

My questions is how can I after a certain-period of time or after a certain condition is true (for example a value in the db in a table reaches 0) to disconnect a certain user ?

Reading the documentation from the site I understood that the NAS server is responsable with this. How can i then do this using PopTop & FreeRadius ?

Any help or hint is appreciated !

Thank You

pppd (it's radius plugin) supports Session-Timeout (and Session-Octets-Limit) so if PopTop uses pppd to establish and authorize the ppp session (and I see no reason not to) .. it will support that. -- damjan | дамјан This is my jabber ID --> damjan@bagra.net.mk -- not my mail address, it's a Jabber ID --^ :)

Thank you for your reply, I was thinking about something similar but I thought there is another way and I couldn't find it in the docs :( As I see it the only thing with this kind of approach needed to make it work is to see which user is associated with which ppp connection (pppX).

Any help or hint is appreciated ! In fact, the easiest way - to run external script via cron (or oracle sheduler) and do all job (i.e. ssh my_pptp_box kill `cat /var/run/ppp$1.pid`).

For now, neither freeradius and radiusclient supports CoA and DM messages :-( -- With best regards, Evgeniy Kozhuhovskiy, Leader of Services team, Minsk State Phony Network, RUE Beltelecom. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
