Hey Paul,
There's actually no need to talk the RADIUS protocol but rather to
talk databases-language. This is because most implementations of a
RADIUS server if not all (for an ISP deployment) are using a database
backend such as MySQL, PostgreSQL or others.
The (free)RADIUS server reads its information based on tables in the
database which include the username, password and possibly other
RADIUS attributes information.
This makes it easy then to integrate between CitrusDB and a RADIUS/Database
server if you say that there's a trigger that can launch a script and pass
to it
the necessary values to "provision" a new user in the RADIUS - provision,
meaning
that the script will create a new database record for the user, and that's
it actually.
What do you think?
I am the author of daloRADIUS which is a web management application to
administer a RADIUS installation and Hotspots deployment. I do not wish
to include a billing part in daloRADIUS as it's a job for experts and there
are better solutions like CitrusDB which do a good job.
I am more than interested in seeing this integration process between
CitrusDB
and daloRADIUS or actually the database servers with a RADIUS database
scheme.
I have all of the RADIUS part knowledge and I'll be happy to take this
integration process into action if you will.
