I have questions regarding the synchronous, retry_delay and
retry_count configuration options in proxy.conf.
I have noticed that the setup below, used in my production system
(0.9.3),
does not work in case of accounting packets. To be precise, whenever I
do not receive acks in the accounting packets I send, the
retransmision policy is that of the router (3 x 10 sec) and not
freeradius'.
Do these configuration options affect access-requests only?
#
# If the NAS re-sends the request to us, we can immediately re-send
# the proxy request to the end server. To do so, use 'yes' here.
#
# If this is set to 'no', then we send the retries on our own schedule,
# and ignore any duplicate NAS requests.
#
# If you want to have the server send proxy retries ONLY when the NAS
# sends it's retries to the server, then set this to 'yes', and
# set the other proxy configuration parameters to 0 (zero).
#
synchronous = no
#
# The time (in seconds) to wait for a response from the proxy, before
# re-sending the proxied request.
#
# If this time is set too high, then the NAS may re-send the request,
# or it may give up entirely, and reject the user.
#
# If it is set too low, then the RADIUS server which receives the proxy
# request will get kicked unnecessarily.
#
retry_delay = 7
#
# The number of retries to send before giving up, and sending a reject
# message to the NAS.
#
retry_count = 4
#
# If the home server does not respond to any of the multiple retries,
# then FreeRADIUS will stop sending it proxy requests, and mark it 'dead'.
#
# If there are multiple entries configured for this realm, then the
# server will fail-over to the next one listed. If no more are listed,
# then no requests will be proxied to that realm.
