Finally got around to testing this. It does not work. I set the Auth Pool
item to "yes" and rebooted each of my maxen (ouch).
My maxen are running 5.0Ap3
Here is a typical entry from a text based terminal authentication:
Thu Jun 26 08:34:42 1997
User-Name = "Pugor"
NAS-IP-Address = "204.157.220.24"
NAS-Port = 20211
Acct-Status-Type = Start
Acct-Delay-Time = 0
Acct-Session-Id = "266782199"
Acct-Authentic = RADIUS
User-Id = "Pugor"
NAS-Identifier = "max2.aa.net"
Note the lack of Framed-Protocol and Framed-IP-Address entries, but the
server did indeed start PPP session.
Here is a user that authenticated using PAP:
Thu Jun 26 08:34:53 1997
User-Name = "lberg"
NAS-IP-Address = "204.157.220.24"
NAS-Port = 20208
Acct-Status-Type = Start
Acct-Delay-Time = 0
Acct-Session-Id = "266782201"
Acct-Authentic = RADIUS
Framed-Protocol = PPP
Framed-IP-Address = "205.199.142.33"
User-Id = "lberg"
NAS-Identifier = "max2.aa.net"
I would really, really like to have the IP address assigned in the
accounting start packet.
What can be done?
