Hi All, I'm wondering if you can advise on the best way to deal with the below. On all NAS's apart from Mikrotik routers, when the radius accounting packets are sent, the correct figures are in the Acct-Input-Octets and Acct-Output-Octets respectively. When using Mikrotik, they switch those around (i.e. the download octets are upload and vice versa), and because I use an SQL DB, it means that the values are also stored the wrong way round, as the queries in dialup.conf are fixed to insert in to the same columns. So, I'm looking to detect a Mikrotik accounting request and then change the columns round so that the DB is always correct. I've tried doing this inside the dialup.conf but not sure it accepts conditional statements inside there. (I use other conditional statements in sites-enabled/default etc, so have an understanding on that in general). --------------------------------- if (Mikrotik-Host-IP) { accounting_start_query = " \ INSERT INTO ${acct_table1} \ (acctsessionid, acctuniqueid, username, \ realm, nasipaddress, nasportid, \ nasporttype, acctstarttime, acctstoptime, \ acctsessiontime, acctauthentic, connectinfo_start, \ connectinfo_stop, acctoutputoctets, acctinputoctets, \ calledstationid, callingstationid, acctterminatecause, \ servicetype, framedprotocol, framedipaddress, \ acctstartdelay, acctstopdelay, xascendsessionsvrkey) \ VALUES \ ('%{Acct-Session-Id}', '%{Acct-Unique-Session-Id}', \ '%{SQL-User-Name}', \ '%{Realm}', '%{NAS-IP-Address}', '%{NAS-Port}', \ '%{NAS-Port-Type}', '%S', NULL, \ '0', '%{Acct-Authentic}', '%{Connect-Info}', \ '', '0', '0', \ REPLACE(SUBSTRING('%{Called-Station-Id}',1,17),':','-'), \ REPLACE(SUBSTRING('%{Calling-Station-Id}',1,17),':','-'), '', \ '%{Service-Type}', '%{Framed-Protocol}', '%{Framed-IP-Address}', \ '%{%{Acct-Delay-Time}:-0}', '0', '%{X-Ascend-Session-Svr-Key}')" } else { accounting_start_query = " \ INSERT INTO ${acct_table1} \ (acctsessionid, acctuniqueid, username, \ realm, nasipaddress, nasportid, \ nasporttype, acctstarttime, acctstoptime, \ acctsessiontime, acctauthentic, connectinfo_start, \ connectinfo_stop, acctinputoctets, acctoutputoctets, \ calledstationid, callingstationid, acctterminatecause, \ servicetype, framedprotocol, framedipaddress, \ acctstartdelay, acctstopdelay, xascendsessionsvrkey) \ VALUES \ ('%{Acct-Session-Id}', '%{Acct-Unique-Session-Id}', \ '%{SQL-User-Name}', \ '%{Realm}', '%{NAS-IP-Address}', '%{NAS-Port}', \ '%{NAS-Port-Type}', '%S', NULL, \ '0', '%{Acct-Authentic}', '%{Connect-Info}', \ '', '0', '0', \ REPLACE(SUBSTRING('%{Called-Station-Id}',1,17),':','-'), \ REPLACE(SUBSTRING('%{Calling-Station-Id}',1,17),':','-'), '', \ '%{Service-Type}', '%{Framed-Protocol}', '%{Framed-IP-Address}', \ '%{%{Acct-Delay-Time}:-0}', '0', '%{X-Ascend-Session-Svr-Key}')" } ------------------------------------- This doesn't work; it throws a config error strangely, which goes away if I comment out the if statement.
