(RADIATOR) Tracking AuthBy

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Jonathon -

My usual approach in this situation is to use Handlers, together with 
the Class attribute.

Something like this:

# define AuthBy clauses

<AuthBy ...>
	Identifier CheckWhatever
	.....
	AddToReply Class = CheckWhatever
</AuthBy>

<AuthBy .....>
	Identifier CheckSomethingElse
	.....
	AddToReply Class = CheckSomethingElse
</AuthBy>

.....

# define Handlers

<Handler Request-Type = Accounting-Request, Class = CheckWhatever>
	AuthBy CheckWhatever
	.....
</Handler>

<Handler Request-Type = Accounting-Request, Class = CheckSomethingElse>
	AuthBy CheckSomethingElse
	.....
</Handler>

.....

<Handler>
	AuthByPolicy ContinueUntilAccept
	AuthBy CheckWhatever
	AuthBy CheckSomethingElse
	....
</Handler>


regards

Hugh
