(RADIATOR) Acct-Session-Id non-unique across mutiple NAS's..

2001-04-03 Thread Michael Bellears

Hi, Im currently using Cistron Radius (with MySQL) to auth dial-in users
from a PM3. Our original PM3 was getting close to maximum, so we purchased
another. During testing I noticed the new PM3 is attempting to use the same
Acct-Session-Id that had been previously used by the original PM3, the
INSERT to the DBase fails due to a non-unique Acct-Session-Id.

Does Radiator accomodate for this type of scenario - Multiple Identical
NAS's authing via a single Radius Server ?

Regards,
Michael

Hello Michael -

The Acct-Session-Id is just a number, and will wrap around even on a 
single NAS you can't rely on it to be unique.

Radiator has no trouble with any number of identical NAS's.

Looks like I may switch to Radiator.
