Help Regarding Freeradius Server Inactivity and client access
Hello All, I have working Freeradius(freeradius-2.1.3-1.fc10.i386) server with Mysql and chillispot. I just want to know what should happen when user is authenticated and after few time freeradius server stops working(due to any reason). In my case user stays on-line even though freeradius server is not working. For e.g. user A connects to my network radius server authenticates to user and after authentication say after 5 minutes radius server stopped working but user A still accessing internet as long as possible. I think if server stops working client should be disconnected. Regards, Pushpraj N.

Version 2.1.6 will be released on Monday. It fixes a number of issues.

That isn't how RADIUS works. It's like asking for everyone's address book to be updated as soon as you get a new telephone number. That's impossible. You have to contact everyone, and tell them yourself. Alan DeKok.

Yes. That's how are things suposed to be.

No. You should have a secondary (backup) radius server. Ivan Kalik Kalik Informatika ISP

- Thank You Sir For Reply, I think back radius server will solve my problem. Actually what i thought when we use ideal time out option access point disconnects inactive clients after given ideal time out value so in same way access point should disconnect clients/users when it (access point) fails to send packages(like accounting packages) to radius server. By the way thanks for suggestion.
