Help with executing accounting!

[Mohamed Abdulla]

Hi All,
I am new to using freeradius. I am in the process of integrating freeradius with "ipoque", which is a bandwidth control device. IPOQUE expects to see an accounting request from the radius server with specific attributes embedded, in order to control the bandwidth of the logged-in user. The scenario I am trying to realize is as follows:
  1.. For each user wishing to authenticate with freeradius, I have added two attributes in "users.conf" file. The first attribute is "Framed-IP-Address", while the second is a VSA "ipoque-class".
  2.. When the user successfully authenticate with the freeradius, and after the freeradius sends Access-Accept, I want the radclient.exe to automatically send Accounting request to ipoque, including the following: User-Name, Framed-IP-Address, Accounting-Status-Type= Start and ipoque-class as configured in users.conf file. This should inform ipoque device about the user IP and the class of that user in order to apply th proper bandwidth rules for that user category.
I have started by creating a test user in users.conf as follows:

shafzeen    Auth-Type := Local, User-Password == "1234"
 Framed-IP-Address = "192.168.1.12",
 ipoque-class = "raduser"

then I created a text file named "ipoquestart.txt" with the following content:

User-Name = "%{User-Name}",
Framed-IP-Address = "%{reply:Framed-IP-Address}",
Acct-Status-Type = Start,
ipoque-class = "%{reply:ipoque-class}"

Then in the radiusd.conf, in the modules section I have defined the following (The ipoque device IP is 192.168.0.1, secret "prx"):

exec Start {
  wait = yes
  program = "${bindir}/radclient.exe -d ${raddbdir} -f ${bindir}/ipoquestart.txt -x -s 192.168.1 acct prx"
  input_pairs = reply
  output_pairs = reply
  packet_type = Access-Accept  
 }
and in the instantiate section I have added Start. Also, in the post-auth I have put Start trying to send the radclient acct request towards ipoque.
I have started freeradius in debug mode, and I noticed that the radclient is sending Framed-IP-Address as "0.0.0.0", and "ipoque-class"= "",
and after that it is sending the reply with the needed values of Framed-IP-Address and "ipoque-class". I know there is some where something wrong I am doing, but I need someone to analyse what is happening and tell me how to correct it! Thanks
