Subject: (RADIATOR) Session control for pre-paid access
Hi all,
I have been using Radiator for a year now and one new thing i would like to
be able to do is to have session control for special users to whom i provide
service with a pre-paid system.
Do you know how i can implement prepaid session control? (most probably
using session-timeout) just like Platypus does, the one drawback i see in
Platypus is that it works on NT and it's rather expensive for +10.000 users.
Do you know what else i can use for this kind of prepaid session control?
Its relatively easy to do this if you use SQL and you are willing to configure
your SQL tables and queries to suit. You can find example code in the AutRADMIN
and AuthPLATYPUS and AuthEMERALD modules.
Basically the idea is that for each user you keep a "prepaid seconds left"
counter. Use that top set Session-Timeout in the reply, and decrement the count
with each incoming accounting stop.
For those who wish to purchase a prepackaged solution, as Enrique notes,
Platypus does it.
So does our RAdmin package (http://www.open.com.au/radmin), which has unlimited
users (but no billing)
Thanks for any enlightment on this.
Hope that helps.
Cheers.
