......Just a quickie!
RadiusNT 2.5.124 shows that it's subtracting time from the TimeLeft
field in the debug mode window, however, everytime I check it on the SQL
server it seems to have had no effect? Is this because I have not installed
the registered version of Radius yet? Under MSAccess itr workx fine, just
gets trippy under SQL?!?
P.S. - When I run Radius with a SQL DSN I do not get a registration warning,
I only get it under a MSAccess
DSN?
Thanx Again,
Gabe.

We just upgraded to 2.5.124 from 1.16.xx (NT4.0, SP3, latest ODBC driver
(3.5??), ODBC mode, Access '97 enhanced database) and we are very pleased.
One problem. When a user is disconnected due to bad phone line, etc., the
Calls Online query leaves the user active and does not insert a stop
record. Our PM3s (ComOS 3.8b17) see that the user has disconnected. But
when the user dials back, he cannot login as concurrency control sees that
he is still "active", and a reject 14 is inserted into RadLogs. Manual
Calls Update and Concurrency were enabled. ServerPorts populated. All else
appears normal.
We have disabled concurrency control until this is resolved. Help!
TIA,

It does the same thing to us... so we stopped
using this feature. :(
RadiusNT will not allow the user to login... because
it thinks they are still logged on... you have to
clear their entry out manually... in the ServerPorts
table... I believe it's a bug.

Is it a bug in Radius NT, or is the PortMaster not sending a stop record?
Just asking cause I certainly don't know.

Good point. I monitor the PM list and I have not seen this bug there. There
is a problem with our ComOS not sending a framed address in the stop
record, but the stop records themselves are fine otherwise.

Hi;
We have always had this problem, for some time we simply used Tsmon and
let its concurrency take care of multiple logins. The problem with Tsmon is
they have to login first then they get dropped after 5 or so minutes. A
couple of months ago I wrote a VB5 program that telnets into our PM2's and
3's gathers the logins and updates the Radius database (along with checking
idle bytes, login times etc.). Seems to be working fine, I reformatted our
Linux box with NT and made it a dedicated backup Radius server. I think
there is a new feature in RaduisNT for monitoring Portmasters but I haven't
had a chance to look at it (at this time we don't need it anyway). With the
way Diamond is pushing these shotgun modems RadNt's login limits come in
very handy.

HI
The problem is with the version of Com O/S you are using. 3.8b17 does NOT
send the port address with the stop record, so Emerald doens NOT associate
the stop.
You need to down grade your Com O/S to make it work properly.
Lucent will put the port address back in with version 3.8b18 when it is
ready. Then all will be well again.
This is why I have not upgraded my PM3's yet.

If your database and administration area are set up correctly AND the NAS sends the information the calls online will work correctly.
By watching the debug information, or logging it to a file a looking at it later
you can see where things are hanging up.

The debug log will show all that your NAS is sending. It will also show you what your log is taking and the cool part is, by updating your database you can collect the new info by adding it in the calls table.

Someone reported this, but I have been unable to reproduce the
problem. It works fine on the four SQL Servers I reported it it.
You might want to see if you have a trigger that is updating the
subaccounts if you have the manual service update enabled with
SQL Server (they both would be accomplishing the same thing).

RadiusNT will run in trial mode against SQL Server (you should see an
x days left message) automatically. If you have a license key, just
put it into the admin and the messages will go away.

I read the messages earlier concerning how to assign a specific IP addressto a customer. The response for a system that was using RadiusNT in textmode made good since, however, how would you assign specific a IP addressto a user if you are using RadiusNT in ODBC mode.
I am using a Bess filter proxy and need to point some clients to it's IPaddress. I am very new with RadiusNT and Emerald, so if you could givesome detailed instructions, I would appreciate it.

Stoy,
We do not know yet. We are still in the process of getting our ISP setup.How are you addressing the interfaces between Bess, your NAS, andEmerald/RadiusNT?
We have Emerald/RadiusNT running on an NT 4.0 server on a private networkattached to an Alpha NAS running Red Hat Linux. The Bess proxy is sittingout on the ethernet, outside our private network, attached to the NAS.
Have you gotten you Bess server setup and working with Emerald/RadiusNT?
Thanks for the reply,
Murrah

You would make entries in the RadConfigs table for the User's AccountID.This is covered in the docs, I believe. > I am using a Bess filter proxy and need to point some clients to it's IP> address.

With Emerald, just add the RADIUS information in the RADIUS tabfor the service. You have to add all the attributes, since the defaults are not used when you have specific attributes for auser.
