Yes. Concurrency control currently works via a username and will not
work correctly if you have more than one person with the name login.

I would guess you have Shared Profiles set to no in the MAX. Unless thatis set to Yes, the MAX will reject additional logins of the same username.

No they are not. MasterAccounts is one of many tables used in a cross tabquery. Those fields are from the SubAccounts table, not the MasterAccountstable.

Because its not correct?

sa is an alias for the subaccounts table and ma is an alias for theMasterAccounts table. Therefore, the fields used in the abovre are:

MasterAccounts SubAccounts--------------------- ------------------------Extension AccountIDmaExpireDate AccountTypeCustomerID PasswordActive Login Shell Active

I'm really not sure exactly what you think is wrong?

We have confirmed the problem with emerauth.dll not working correctly withServ-U and are working on it. You should use the emer_su.dll until we release a new version of the EmerAuth.dll.

Its just a sore spot for me. I get sick of tired of multi-milliondollar companies who can read a RFC.

I don't know what type of NASes you have, but our Ascend units use seconds.

All time values in RADIUS itself are in seconds. The TimeLeft fieldin the SubAccounts table is in minutes, though.

Yes. I believe the ServerPorts can be NULL to specify all ports for theserver (and reduce the number of records required). > Can I assume that the start and stop times are based on the account types> and not on the user??

Yes.
