Are you sure you're using the correct Radius attribute? If you're trying
to set a maximum session time of 9 hours through an Ascend Max, you'd set:
Ascend-Maximum-Time = 32400 (seconds)
If you're using Ascend and decide to use the above attribute, the person
will be disconnected within a couple minutes of that time and the
Ascend-Disconnect-Cause will be 100 (session timed out) as if they were
idle.

Ok. But we are using CF and Cybercash for our credit card processing. Will
using 'mmyyyy' have any adverse affects on the Emerald system?

Thanks.

Thank you for your help but I don't want a session timeout of 9 hours : I
want to limit the account to 9 hours a month.
I'm sorry if I didn't explain it the right way (I am not american).

Using ISQL, run the following, but make sure that these charges are NOT
already part of an existing invoice.

DELETE FROM Charges
WHERE ChargeID = 1234 /* the number you see next to the Charge in
a user's MBR under the History tab */

Is possible Emerald response the message below because I have two user with
the same password?

I don't know what's causing the problem that you're running into, but users
can have the same passwords. It's login/shell names that can't be the
same.

Hi all
I'm having edit problems with the subaccount table. When I try to edit one
account with the Emerald software the system answer is a "error type
mistmatch 13". I added more space to the database device. Can any of you

Currently Emerlad doesn't support recurring time limits, but it does
support time banking. You can use time banking to accomplish this, but
have to create an external "reset" for it.

Here is one way I have accomplished this.

1. Create a table called AccountTypeTimeLimits with two fields. The
first field is a AccountType varchar(12), and the second is TimeLeft
int.

2. Populate the table with those AccountTypes that will be using the
recurring timebanking and the number of minutes per month they will get.

3. Execute an SQL Statement from SQL Executive's scehduled tasks the
first day of each month to reset the totals based on the user's
account type.

For those who don't want to go through the trouble of the above, here
is the script to do it. :) As always, check carefully and use at
your own risk.

------------------------------------------------------------
Use Emerald

CREATE TABLE AccountTypeTimeLimits (
AccountType varchar (15) NOT NULL ,
TimeLeft int NOT NULL ,
CONSTRAINT pk_ATTimeLImits PRIMARY KEY ( AccountType, TimeLeft )
)
GO

Insert AccountTypeTimeLimits VALUES ('PPP 20 Hour', 1200)
GO

Use master
go

Exec msdb..sp_addtask 'Monthly Time Limit Reset', @subsystem = 'TSQL',
@server = null, @username = null, @databasename = 'Emerald', @enabled =
