(RADIATOR) Re: Account Update Message (DLG-24)

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Ajay -

As mentioned in my previous mail you will need to send an Accounting- 
Request with an Acct-Status-Type=Alive (not an Acct-Status-Type=Start  
as you show in your mail). You would do something like this:

perl radpwtst -noauth -noacct -trace 4 -code Accounting- Request Acct- 
Status-Type=Alive Acct-Session-Id=XXXXX NAS-Identifier=YYYYY Acct- 
Input-Octets=NNNNNN Acct-Output-Octets=MMMMMM .....

regards

Hugh

NB:

Have you read the reference manual ("doc/ref.html")?
Have you searched the mailing list archive (www.open.com.au/archives/ 
radiator)?
Have you had a quick look on Google (www.google.com)?
Have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
