Very simple:

# define AuthBy clauses

<AuthBy SQL>
	Identifier DB1
	.....
</AuthBy>

<AuthBy SQL>
	Identifier DB2
	.....
</AuthBy>

# define Handlers

<Handler Request-Type = Accounting-Request>
	AuthByPolicy ContinueAlways
	AuthBy DB1
	AuthBy DB2
	....
</Handler>

The above should provide an example - you may need to alter it for 
your own needs and environment.

This depends on the NAS equipment. Some equipment now supports the 
relatively recent "Disconnect-Request", but you will need to check 
with your vendor. Otherwise you may have to write a script that will 
log in to the NAS and issue whatever command is required to 
disconnect the user.

You will have to use cascaded AuthBy clauses with the usernames and 
CLI information in a file, and usernames and passwords in the 
password file.

Here is an example:

# define AuthBy clauses

<AuthBy FILE>
	Identifier CheckCLI
	Filename %D/users.cli
</AuthBy>

<AuthBy UNIX>
	Identifier CheckUsers
	.....
</AuthBy>

# define Realm or Handler

<Handler ....>
	AuthBy CheckCLI
	....
</Handler>


The file %D/users.cli would contain something like this:

# users.cli - check CLI then check password file

username1  Calling-Station-Id = nnnnnnnn, Auth-Type = CheckUsers

username2  Calling-Station-Id = mmmmmmmm, Auth-Type = CheckUsers

.......
