Using RFC 5997 / Status in Module
Hi everyone We wrote a Freeradius module which collects data over some less reliable protocol (talking to property management systems / PMS). It would be very handy if we could add some PMS related data (e.g. connection fail count) to the server's status response. Is there some documentation / best practice examples on how to implement this? Cheers, Till

There's not a lot of documentation on "how to do coding in FR". That being said, this shouldn't be terribly difficult. Your module can detect that the packet is Status-Server by looking at request->packet->code == PW_CODE_STATUS_SERVER See src/main/stats.c for some sample code which look for attributes, and then creates attributes in the reply.

Hi Alan Thank you very much for the quick reply and the hints! Now I have an idea where to start. Cheers Till
