(RADIATOR) SOAP XML authentication

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Alexis -

Yes you can use the AuthBy SOAP to query an external SOAP server.

See section 6.50 in the Radiator 3.9 reference manual ("doc/ref.html").

See also the code in "Radius/AuthSOAP.pm".

You can of course also use the code in "Radius/AuthSOAP.pm" as a 
template to develop your own AuthBy module if required.

regards

Hugh

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