You only have to do this once after each time you make any modifications to
the RRAS settings in Control Panel >> Network. Once you complete your setup,
remove the CHAP and SPAP registry entries and they won't come back again.

we have running version 2.5.116 on (MS SQL server 6.5, SP4) ,with no
headaches in general,
(except stop records only and manual calls update does not work , -i.delay-
problem )
however when I upgrade to 2.5.124, I start to get Bad user name errors
such a query appears, (username ='') for all users
insert radlogs (RadLogMsgID, LogDate, Username,Data) values
(54,getdate(),'',servername)
but in the parsing screen I see the names of users normally
anyone have any idea ?

Has anyone written a 'transition guide' to smooth the way from Access to
SQL/S? Since many have gone this route, it seems inefficient to stumble
along when there must be a few pointers that would be helpful. TIA...

Have you resolved this? Is there a way to take the encrypted passwords and
put them into your ODBC datasource? I have some UNIX users and some users that
will only be in the ODBC database? What would be the best way to merge these
user sets? The unix users will have to be refreshed on a periodic basis. Any
ideas?
thanks
George

Hi Dale,
I was wondering if it is possible to create Emerald/RadiusNT to have 2
accounting sections. One accounting section for RadiusNT (The Temp section
Like tempcalls and callsonline etc.) and a second for Emerald (Full accounting
access)... This way when a calls consolidation is performed, RadiusNT would
have No problems posting accounting information into the Main connection but
if a calls consolidation flag is detected, it will revert to the secondary
section where it is stored in tempcalls. Then when the calls consolidation is
finished, a check would be performed by the SQL Server to determine if there
are any Information in tempcalls and move them into Calls.
This would then make RadiusNT/Emerald More solid and less headaches. The
RadiusNT could check a table called consolidateflag to see if it is triggered.
If so, then it will automatically dump into Tempcalls... then when the flag
clears, it will check to see if there are any info in tempcalls and move them
over to Calls.
