Programatically provision users to server.

[Matthew Carriere]

So I was taking a look at the schema's provided on Github. Can someone
narrow down for me what the workflow of provisioning a user would look
like?
Specifically what I need to do is authorize/de-authorize users using a
timestamp. So what I am thinking is:

1. I would provision users in my Rails application.
2. Authenticated users would then be added to or looked up in a FreeRadius
server schema (table?)
3. FreeRadius users would need to 'timeout' or expire. Is this possible
programatically? Would I have to run a sweep outside of FreeRadius to expire
users?

Does the mere presence of a user in a specific FreeRadius schema allow its
access or does it make it 'available' to be given access? If that's the case
how would I give them access programatically. I suspect there is another
authorization table or something of the sort.

Thanks again for the help.

Matthew.
