(RADIATOR) MAC Address Authentication

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Gene -

There are a number of example configuration files in the "goodies" 
directory of the Radiator 3.10 distribution.

You will need <Client ..> clauses for each access point and you will 
need to decide on how you are going to store the MAC addresses. You 
will need an <AuthBy ...> clause corresponding to the method you choose 
for storing the addresses.

See the example in "goodies/simple.cfg" to see how to use a flat file.

Most Radiator users tend to use an SQL database for user information 
and accounting data.

See the example in "goodies/sql.cfg" to see how to use an SQL database.

You will also find complete descriptions for all configuration options 
in the Radiator 3.10 reference manual ("doc/ref.html").

regards

Hugh

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