Hi,

does anybody know, in Radiusnt 2.5 trial is included NTMail
authentication from radius database?

The DLL requires a key. You can contact sales for an evaluation
RadiusNT Enterprise license key to use the NTMail DLL as well.

So the password replacement did work with just WINNT but didn't workwith WINNT\DOMAIN?

Correct. We built the system that runs RadiusNT on our bench, not connectedto the network where it is now. In order to test the password-replaceoption, we had to add local users to the system (unlike when it is connectedto the network where it should pick up the user info from the domaincontroller). That worked. But after changing the password toWINNT\IDEASIGN, and attaching it to the Ideasign domain LAN, no passwordreplace.

Is the system a member of the IDEASIGN domain? If so, you reallyshouldn't need to domain designator, as NT will try the local, and then the domain is a local isn't found. > Sandy> > -----Original Message-----> From: radiusnt-request@iea-software.com> [mailto:radiusnt-request@iea-software.com]On Behalf Of Dale E.

Hi,

what is a difference between versions 1.16 and 2.5 trial? The problem isin remote authentication format. I hope to use the 1.16 for NTMailauthentication (test works Ok), but it doesn't works if I try to checkfor a POP username (user not found). I have the same settings as it wasfor the 2.5. Could Yo help? I will use radius only for NTMailauthentication....

Too much to list here. :)

Unless you are using another DLL besides ours, you can't. The NTMailDLL is a direct database plugin for NTMail. It has nothing to do withRadiusNT or the RADIUS protocol itself (except that is uses the samedatabase format as RadiusNT does).

That took care of it. I just changed the placeholder to WINNT by itself andthe password replace now works. Thanks!

I finally have our evaluation version of RadiusNT enterprise up andaccepting pass through authentication from a merit radius server. However,it does not appear to be logging the calls. We have successfully logged onseveral test accounts. Some data does accumulate in the RadLogs table, butnothing in the Calls or ServerPorts tables. Do I need to fill somethingout in ServerPorts or are the records in it created by radiusNT?.

We are using RadiusNT to coordinate authentication and billing for roamingaccounts, so we don't own or manage the NAS used by these customers. WillRadiusNT track who is on-line at a given time (for tech support andconcurrency control) and record the session length (for billing)? If sowhat entries do I need to make in which tables?

TIA, David

I would guess that you are only see authentication requests, andnot accounting requests. If you run RadiusNT in -x15 debug mode,are you seeing accounting requests? They will be of type 4 andhave an acct-status-type attribute in them.

It will only if it is receving the accounting information from the NASfor those sessions.

Hello.

I seem to remember someone once mention a special user in text mode whichwill allow ANYONE to successfully be authneticated by RadiusNT. But I can'tfind his email about it.

Can someone please refresh my memory ? What is the name of this special user? Is it "any" ? And will my customers need to use "any" as their login name? Or will their existing login names be accepted ? If their login names willbe accepted, will it be accounted for in both text mode ODBC mode ?

Does this special user work also for RadiusNT 1.16.60 ?

Danny,

user = DEFAULT, password = ANY should do it.

Ok.

So this means that when my customers log in, they would be let in even ifthey use their own usernames/passwords.

But how would RadiusNT do accounting for their sessions ? Would accountinginfo be made for the user "Default" ? Or would it be for the username thatmy customer used ?

Danny,

I'm not sure about accounting. I only use this if my SQL Server goes down -I just authenticate anybody that calls and worry about fixing my SQL Serverand just lose the accounting. Anyone else know this one?
