Multiple responses per user, based on NAS

[John Mylchreest]

Hi guys,

 

I’m currently mulling over two important things for us.

Before I state the problems though, any input would certainly be appreciated and also that we have this working at the moment, but it did require a schema change to support.

 

1: How would radius be able to respond with a different fixed IP address (or a set/subset of other attributes) from radreply, based on the NAS the user connected from?

2: why would you Proxy-To-Realm and point it to a different instance/box, instead of handle it all within the local realm? Ie: Why is handing off the request a good thing, instead of building the functionality into the LOCAL realm. I have my own opinions on this, but I’d like some group input.

 

Currently we have a nasty hack where in the radreply we have an additional field which links to the NAS. In the SQL query (this is all sql backed) we link the NAS field to the real NAS and therefore selectively respond with a different fixed IP, or set of attributes.

 

This as stated, requires a schema hack and I would like to support it without. How would you go about it?

For the record, the same goes against radgroupcheck/reply but that should follow suit with any solution.

 

Any suggestions welcome,

Cheers.

 

John
