Fixed Duration Weekly, Monthly and Daily Accounts

[Suman Dash]

Expiration is actually the validity of the account. It does not calculates
the amount of time used. If you are looking to limit the session time i.e
100 hrs Monthly or anything , you need rlm_sqlcounter with attributes like
Max-Session-Time with a value.

In conjunction with Expiration, you can use Max-Session-Time to create
packages such as 1 Month 100 Hrs Browsing etc .

Feel to send any other query if you are stuck .

Suman
