Hi, Is there any ways that post-paid users can pay their bill using RADIUS packet? Is there any RADIUS attribute which updates a user account by specifed amount? Thanks, Asif

Yes. This is technically possible i your NAS sends a particular attribute to say increment a users credit and you configure FreeRADIUS to do so on receipt of that attribute. Why on earth you would ever want to do this though I dont know. Cheers -- Peter Nixon http://www.peternixon.net/ PGP Key: http://www.peternixon.net/public.asc

Because I have to provide a bill payment system to a phone subscriber who does not have a GUI so that he can pay bill online. So there has to be a way where he will put some pre-generated card-number to pay his bill. If there is any other way...please let me know. Thanks, Asif

Well, there are a hundred different ways to do this, but it all depends on what your IVR server is capable of... FreeRADIUS is a bit like apache. You can configure it to do many different things, but at the end its job is to receive queries from a NAS, do some backend work, then respond in some way. -- Peter Nixon http://www.peternixon.net/ PGP Key: http://www.peternixon.net/public.asc

Thats the reason for accounting, right? Why not generate bills out of accounting data? This way it would be much easier to change prices depending on daytime and other things. By, /dev/rainer
