rlm_sqlcounter and something else than Session-Timeout

[Seferovic Edvin]

I think he wants "Session-Octets-Limit" to be sent back for limiting traffic
passed thru for each user. I've changed the plain counter module so it sends
back my attribute ;), and I think this could be done for sqlcounter as well.


I really don't know why everybody is telling that such config would be
impossible. It worked for me, so do I have to write a patch that would allow
users to switch between time and traffic accounting/limiting in sqlcounter
module, or could the professionals do that ?

Nicolas - the reply-name option is used for what? For sending back the value
in an specific attribute? Couldn't this be used for Damjan's purpose then?

Regards,

Edvin

Indeed.

I'd suggest to make the reply attribute user-defined (like the check
attribute). You might add an option "reply-name" with "Session-Timeout"
as the default value, so it doesn't break someone else's setup.
