Authorise based on Calling Station ID ?

[Darren Ward (darrward)]

Apologies again!

The Wireless Controller (WLC) will send an Accounting Start to the FreeRADIUS with the username and calling-station-id after it successfully Authen's the user

Then traffic for that mac address will be seen by the Policy Manager and it will then go and request an authorize for that mac address from FreeRADIUS

So the authorise will be after the accounting start because they are separate NAS/Client as far as FreeRADIUS is concerned

The WLC access-request username is the username and the ISG username is seen as the mac-address

I'm wondering if there's any way to access the cache or accounting records to try and do the match up?

  If the Calling-Station-ID and User-Name only appear in accounting messages, then you can't check for them in the authorize section.

  That won't work.  Accounting happens AFTER authorization.  You'll need to find another solution.

  Run the server in debugging mode.  Odds are you'll see something useful in the Access-Request.
