Yeah, working on that now. Seems to solve the problem pretty well! Sorry – should have read through emails before responding earlier ;)
To answer your question a little better, yes FreeRadius supports CoA requests but you’ll have to write something to automate/interface to it … *From:* Af [mailto:[email protected]] *On Behalf Of *Simon Westlake *Sent:* Wednesday, January 20, 2016 3:50 PM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* Re: [AFMUG] PPPoE and service changes Yeah, I'm doing it directly into the database. Looks like FreeRADIUS has some functions to proxy CoA/Disconnect requests though, although poorly documented, so I'm digging into that. Thanks for the direction, definitely helped!

If you don't have access to the radius server, it would be difficult as the send function is a manual command. But you could always log into the MT and knock it off through CLI or API.

I'm trying to find a way that isn't reliant on Mikrotik as the NAS, seems like the disconnect packet is the right way. Looks like maybe it can be done using unlang or the rlm_perl/python modules to trigger based on some other event though.. still messing with it.

Or why not add another ip as another radius that only accepts incoming requests if you don't want to use the regular radius? Alternatively, it can be done through cli on ssh or through the API.

Is this the solution everyone here is using to force a refresh of attributes? On 1/20/2016 12:52 PM, Simon Westlake wrote: That certainly sounds like the best solution. Thanks!

For example, let's say a customer is receiving specific attributes to set their speed, or IP address, or whether they should be redirected to a splash page. If you change one of these attributes, what is your current strategy for forcing a re-auth to update the attributes? Seems like it is pretty easy while you're on the phone with a customer to either login to your own gear and reauth the session, or tell them to reboot their router, or whatever their authenticated device is. But if they are disabled and they make a payment on a splash page, it seems like it would be likely to generate a service call if the splash page tried telling them to do something like reboot their router or radio. -- Simon Westlake Skype: Simon_Sonar Email: [email protected] Phone: (702) 447-1247 --------------------------- Sonar Software Inc The next generation of ISP billing and OSS https://sonar.software -- Simon Westlake Skype: Simon_Sonar Email: [email protected] Phone: (702) 447-1247 --------------------------- Sonar Software Inc The next generation of ISP billing and OSS https://sonar.software -- Simon Westlake Skype: Simon_Sonar Email: [email protected] Phone: (702) 447-1247 --------------------------- Sonar Software Inc The next generation of ISP billing and OSS https://sonar.software -- Simon Westlake Skype: Simon_Sonar Email: [email protected] Phone: (702) 447-1247 --------------------------- Sonar Software Inc The next generation of ISP billing and OSS https://sonar.software -- Simon Westlake Skype: Simon_Sonar Email: [email protected] Phone: (702) 447-1247 --------------------------- Sonar Software Inc The next generation of ISP billing and OSS https://sonar.software
