(RADIATOR) defaultlease

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Martin -

Radiator does not do any renewal of the lease, as the radius protocol  
itself has no way of indicating that the IP address lease should be  
renewed.

In general you should set the default lease to be longer than the  
longest session that you need, and you should also use a Session- 
Timeout to ensure that the session is terminated.

Your only other option is to use a SessionDatabase SQL together with  
an external cron job to scan the table and renew those sessions that  
require it. This is outside the scope of Radiator however.

regards

Hugh

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?
