hi, i'm planning a significant migration from a different radius server (Radiator, perl based).
one advantage of that server is that it is very easy to code custom hooks to apply business logic to post-(ldap)-search and post-auth points of the radius sequence. the disadvantage is the performance of the system (single-threaded, low peak performance intorducing latency into system). our tests with freeradius show a much lighter server - its faster, and easier on memory and cpu. however the downside is that applying custom logic to the radius process is a bit more difficult. i'd like some advide on the best place to implement this logic. for example - a common scenario is for a request to come from A, and the reply to A contains instructions to extend a tunnel to a second device B. A second query from B is then received. this case is handled easily in perl using "if()" constructs. in theory - and for simple cases - i can do this in the "users" file with the matching conditions to provide the logic - but that's not a scalable or sensible way i think - correct me if i'm wrong. i'll be handling many conditions (if nas-identifier = x, .., if domain/realm = y ... ). so i guess i have to write a custom module for this? comments appreciated. pointers to examples / tutorials also appreciated - i couldn't find any in the documentation or on the website. tariq - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
