I am really newbie...
0. First off all, plz point me the best how-to available on the net, about freeradius. I want to use it with mysql.
1. Can I user the same radius server to authenticate dial-up users (from CISCO), authenticate wireless devices based on MAC address, gather VOIP accounting information (from CISCO) ? And store all this in mysql.
Yes, one RADIUS server can be used with several different NAS devices.
2. How to authenticate on MAC address ? There are no passwords, and user names. Basic concept ?For a Cisco device, the user name and password are the same. They are the MAC address in lowercase with no punctuation. Try something like:
xxxxxxxxxxxx Auth-Type := Local, User-Password == "xxxxxxxxxxxx"
Where xxxxxxxxxxxx is the MAC address of the client/user.
3. How accurate is this kind of accounting ? What if a "session end" message is lost. Or what is the situation if a user is always on-line ? There is some kind of timeout when accounting data is written out to databse ?
