(RADIATOR) Restricted logins.

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Wesley -

What you are describing is a session database with simultaneous use 
checking.

Unfortunately the accounting data is used to add and remove records to 
the session database (starts add and stops remove), so if you cannot 
rely on the accounting data there is not much you can do.

If you specify a NasType in a Client clause then the NAS will be 
queried when a simultaneous use exception is detected. There are 
various types of NAS query supported, one of which is "Ping". This 
tells Radiator to "ping" the IP address of the connected session to 
ascertain whether it is still up or not. Note however that this is only 
useful in very limited situations and only when you have accurate 
entires in the session database.

regards

Hugh

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