(RADIATOR) Accounting depending on RADIUS field value

[Emilio Mira Alfaro]

Hi list,

I have a couple of questions I haven't found an answer for in the documentation.

Our authentication handler looks like this:

<Handler>
    <AuthBy SQL>
        AuthSelect select ---                  

        AccountingTable ACCT_ADSL
        AcctColumnDef   ACADSL_ID_USUARIO,User-Name
        AcctColumnDef   ACADSL_TIPO_ACCOUNTING,Acct-Status-Type
        AcctColumnDef   ACADSL_NASIDENTIFIER,NAS-IP-Address
        ...
        AcctColumnDef   ACADSL_TERMINATECAUSE,Acct-Terminate-Cause

        HandleAcctStatusTypes Start,Stop
        NoDefault
    </AuthBy>
</Handler>

We would like to not log the accounting messages that have 'NAS-Error' in the 'Acct-Terminate-Cause'
field. Those messages have 'Stop' as accounting status type. The way we've thought we could
implement this is by using a prehandler hook to set the accounting type to something different than
start or stop if the termination cause is 'NAS-Error', but I'm pretty sure there is a cleaner way to
do this. Could you please advise?

The other concerns the way accounting messages flow through the configuration file (I'm probably
missing something here). My understanding is that, when an accounting message arrives, it gets
through the client statement to check that the authenticator is correct and then to the handler. The
thing is that I don't really understand why the accounting statements is placed inside the AuthBy
section since this accounting message doesn't have any user-password attribute.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
Emilio
