If the port provider is not returning the class attribute in accounting
(which is a RADIUS RFC requirement) then RadiusNT will not be able to associate the call record to the AccountID it authenticated it to. In proxy scenarios you usually have users authenticate as user@domain.com rather than just user.

Normally there is a process that will try to associate accounting records without an AccountID to their respective service. However, this may not work with proxy records and the user@domain.com username. What you can try to do is enable trim domain on your accounting configuration in RadiusNT to have it only store the username in the accounting record rather than user@domain.com.

The Emerald 4.5 it will ONLY return service call history that matches the AccountID of the service, for performance reasons. Therefore, is the AcountID is blank in the call record, it will not show up in the call history.
