I'd be very interested in something like this. I attempted a freeradius install once, but gave up when I found the User Manager so quick and easy.
So would running the UM in a VM likely solve the performance issues? There is one other thing I thought of: I downgraded the RAM in the RB1000 where I'm running the UM to 512MB (from 2GB) when I was troubleshooting an issue earlier. I put the board back into production but forgot to restore the RAM. Perhaps that might help... I'm using the internal filesystem on the RB, can I point the UM to a CF card instead? -Paul On Jul 9, 2010, at 10:28 AM, Mike Hammett wrote: > I am working on making a fresh WIKI article to walk someone through > setting up FreeRADIUS, MySQL, and FreeSide. > > ----- > Mike Hammett > Intelligent Computing Solutions > http://www.ics-il.com > > > > On 7/9/2010 12:21 PM, David wrote: >> You should switch to using and external radius like freeradius and use a >> database like mysql. >> >> David Blood >> >> >>> -----Original Message----- >>> From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On >>> Behalf Of Paul Gerstenberger >>> Sent: Friday, July 09, 2010 11:18 AM >>> To: WISPA General List >>> Subject: [WISPA] Mikrotik User Manager Limitations and Alternatives >>> >>> We've started out using the Mikrotik User Manager package on an RB1000 >>> for our PPPoE authentication and accounting, but the interface is >>> slowing down now that we've got a few hundred customers on it and a few >>> months of accounting info.
