AW: (RADIATOR) more intelligent rewriteusername

[Martin Wallner]

Jon,
 
I don't know how loaded your RADIUS-servers are, but rewrite sub's are (IMHO) taking too much time in high load environments (call me bickering, but I stand to it :-). 
 
It's much faster to strip the realm after entering the Handler, regardless if it's there or not (you are sure that you have handle the wholesale-part, because it's already in the appropriate handler/realm), do the authentication of the username without the realm part, and then, before sending it into the Accountingpart of the handler, rewrite it again to username at wholesale.domain  before you write it in the file.... (In an SQL-Accounting/Authenticating  environment you can even let the sql-server add the wholesale.domain part with the authentication sql select or accounting-function sql insert....)

Betreff: (RADIATOR) more intelligent rewriteusername 



I've got a situation where we have wholesale dialup customers for which
we've setup their own dialup numbers.  This is so their customers can
dialup and login as just username...but a few of them are logging in as
username at wholesaledomain.  This is causing accounting issues as we've been
doing a RewriteUsername s/^(.*)/$1\@wholesaledomain/ in a handler for
their dialup numbers.  So we end up with some accounting for
username at wholesaledomain@wholesaledomain.

Is the following a good way to solve this problem in place of
RewriteUsername?

RewriteFunction sub { my($user) = shift; my $dom = '@wholesaledomain';
if ($user !~ m/$dom/i) { $user .= $dom; } $user;}
