Hi Hugh.
Yes, thanks for that, the TimeBanking option helps and I can confirm that
the customer now does get cut off when their time goes into the negative.
However they can then dial-in again and get connected without a problem and
stay on-line for as long as they like. That is, if the Timeleft is a
negative number.
Is this the correct action for Radiator? That is, to accept authentication
when Timeleft is a negative number or are you not concerned with this and
only use this as a method of when to disconnect a user?
It seems to me that it would be useful to not allow authentication when the
number is a minus/negative and return an error message to that effect but
perhaps I have missed a point?
I'd be keen to here your point of view Hugh?
Cheers and thanks for your help so far.
John
