There are two columns in which data can be stored. One is a long (numeric) and
the other is a string. Depending on the TYPE of the attribute from the
RadAttributes table, it will use the applicable column. Therefore, if the
column is of type integer, it doesn't matter what the data (the string type
column) contains, RadiusNT will send the value (number type column) for
that attribute. Emerald will put a numeric value in both columns, and leave
the numeric set to 0 for a string type. If you are seeing two different
numbers in debug mode, realize only one is relevant. The number is ()
in debug mode is the value (numeric) column.

Hi Dale

I Installed Emerald a few weeks ago for testing porpouses, cause i intend tobuy it in the next couple days

I think is the best in the market and it will fit our need very well

But there are a couple things that are not working well in our installation(i'm running emerald admin 2.2.19 and emerald 2.2.23)

1.- On the Emerald Administrator1.a.- when i select the billing grup tab it shows ---- Run time error'424' - Object Required ---- and quits the program.1.b.- the operators tab shows nothing in it..1.c.- when i select the billing cycles tab it shows ---- SQL Server error208 Invalid object name 'billing Cycles' -- state =1, severity=16 ---------and does not let me add any info giving me the same error1.d.- Tha Config access option -- dont let me modify operators and theoperator access makes no sence showing operators and billing grups and theprivileges (please explain how this works)

2.- regarding emerald the program works well but we are a little afraid ofour first billing process, cuase it has a few steps and we don't want toscrew up.

2.a.-how does the prorate feature works?2.b.-do you have any documentation that explains in more datail step by stepthe first and second billing process?

I still have a few question about some other aspects of emerald. but if youcould please answer this question and solve the problems above, we will feelmore confortable on purchasing emerald.

Thanks in advance

I just put version 2.2.31 of the Emerald Admin in the /emerald/beta/emerald22directory, which will correct the billing groups tab problem. You shouldignore the biling cycle tab, as it has no use in Emerald 2.2. The Operatoraccess is a special remote case, and is not something that normalinstallations will use. The upcoming Emerald 2.5 has full support foroperator access.

There is not a prorate feature is Emerlad 2.2. Its strictly ananniversary based billing system.

The steps are rather simple. Everything is done on the batch tab:

Enter any day in the month you want to bill for. For example, enter 6/1/98 in the date field for billing for the month of June. Make suretype is renewal, and then select create. That will create all the invoicesfor customers that expire in June. Next, change the date to today's date,and click print. That will print the invoices you just created.

Hi

We just noticed that if we set a user service type to ISDN or one of our newgroups, the user can not authenticate. We seem to have to set our ISDNcustomers to PPP in order for them to authenticate. Is there something inthe setup of services that could conceivably prevent a user fromauthenticating?

Go into the Config RADIUS, defaults, and make sure you have a set ofdefault attributes for the service type. Otherwise, RadiusNT will notauthenticate users for that service type.

Do you mean Server Assigned DNS? You can set these options on the MAX and they might even have attributes for it. This really sounds like a bugwith the MAX itself, though.

The attribute should be described in the Ascend docs (RADIUS supplimentarysection). Its an Ascend specific attribute.

No , I mean assigning a static IP to users.. Jurt said all i had to do wasput in a FramedAddress radius attribute and use the IP we wanted to assignas the value. but when we do that, the user can't get DNS. And isunpingable from our end.

Is the IP ADdress you are assigning in the same subnet as the MAX itself?This sounds like a routing/subnet issue to me.

Try running the Checkdb.sql scrip against your database and then readdingthe user. It could be an ident problem.

The only version of emerald Admin in /emerald/beta/emerald22 directory isemeradmn.exe with size of 101.376 Bytes and it gives me an "unexpectederror" when i run it, is this the one or should i download emerald22.zip andreinstall again.

When will be emerald 2.5 ready ? If i'm buying emerald now, i will like tohave access to the features that are not working in the current version without having to pay for an upgrade in a couple months..

Ascend-PPP should not be needed for anything. We've got 3 Maxes (4004,4048, 4002) and have people dialing into all of them with dynamic IPs aswell as static without any problems. DNS IP addresses are dynamicallyassigned directly by the Maxes. Here are sample radius settings:

Standard PPP connection: User-Service: Framed-User Framed-Protocol: PPP Ascend-Maximum-Time: 43200 (optional) Ascend-Idle-Limit: 1200 (optional)

Static IP PPP connection: User-Service: Framed-User Framed-Protocol: PPP Framed-Address: 199.44.20.123 Framed-Netmask: 255.255.255.255 Ascend-Maximum-Time: 43200 (optional) Ascend-Idle-Limit: 1200 (optional)

Make sure that your routing is set correctly in the Max: Ethernet / Static Rtes

Dynamic DNS assignment: Ethernet / Mod Config / DNS

You need to make sure RADIUS accounting is correctly being received byEmerald. That should allow the on-line tracking to work.

* Dual thread design separates authentication and accountingprocesses, improving performance.

* Debugging information can be logged to a file while RadiusNT isrunning as a service under Windows NT.

* Spaces can be trimmed from both the front and rear of user names forauthentication and accounting.

* Trims a "domain\" entry from DUN authentication attempts against ausers file, or

* When authenticating against the NT SAM, uses the "domain\" sectionto find the correct domain in which to authenticate.

* RadiusNT Administrator's users and clients file editing options havebeen added.

* Promiscuous mode has been added to allow requests from any clientwith the correct global secret.

* Documentation has been updated to include common problems andfrequently asked questions.

The following ODBC features have been enhanced:

* Separate ODBC DSN settings are allowed for the authentication andaccounting threads (as well as debug log files).

* New advanced Server/Port Access controls, including time of dayrestrictions.

* ODBC Support for Sybase and Oracle SQL databases has been added.

* DNIS based authentication restrictions.

* Now supports the use of stored procedures with SQL Server forenhanced flexibility and more configuration of database behavior.

* Improved Manual Update for Concurrency control for out of orderaccounting packets.

*********************************************************************RadiusNT ENTERPRISE Edition also includes the following new features:*********************************************************************

* SNMP statistics are available for authentication and accountingrequests according to the RADIUS SERVER MIB proposal.

* Real-Time SNMP concurrency verification to prevent invalid userrejection when calls-online is not correct.

* User based proxy by forwarding authentication/accounting requests toanother RADIUS server based on the domain of the username.

* Server based proxy by forwarding authentication/accounting requeststo another RADIUS server based on the port or server the requestoriginates from.

* Ability to configure a specific set of RADIUS attributes for remoteproxy authenticated users (overriding the proxy returned set).

Modifications and Corrections from previous versions of RadiusNT:

* The ports now correctly default to 1645/1646 if the services filehas not been updated.

* Username lengths of up to 128 characters are supported.

* Password lengths of up to 128 characters are supported.

* RadiusNT by default will only allow the correct type of request onthe authentication and accounting ports, respectively. Therefore if anaccounting request is received on the authentication port, it isdropped/ignored. There is a flag to disable this option.

* Support of a NULL MasterAccounts ExpireDate (non-expiring account).

Current owners of RadiusNT 2.x may upgrade to RadiusNT 2.5 Standard atno cost.

Hey Dale I see this mentioned in the 2.5 Radius list

* New advanced Server/Port Access controls, including time of dayrestrictions.

I sent message earlier about setting port types you mentioned in 2.5(i.e. ISDN and analog users)

By the docs in Chapter 9 I assume this is the DNIS function?

Also, how do you work with the time of day restrictions? I didn't seeany mention in the docs about time of day restrictions. Will all thiswork with Emerald we have been wanting to offer a daytime only accountfor sometime now.
