(RADIATOR) Interoperation with both GRIC and iPass

Hello Igor -

There are two scenarios to look at here - the first is inbound 
authentication requests from your users who are travelling and using 
GRIC and IPASS services. This is simply a matter of configuring the 
appropriate Client clauses in your Radiator configuration file to deal 
with the incoming requests.

The second scenario is slightly more difficult - travelling users who 
are using your infrastructure to dial up and you need to forward the 
athentication requests to either GRIC or IPASS depending on which 
service they want to use. This is usually done by having those users 
employ prefixes in the usernames indicating which they want to use.

Something like this:

	IPASS\username at some.realm

or

	GRIC\username at some.realm

You should check with both GRIC and IPASS to see what they suggest (and 
already use).

regards

Hugh

NB: have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
