[RADIATOR] Radius Feed to third party Billing Vendor

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Triano -

The way I generally do this sort of thing is with Handlers (not Realms):

…..

# accounting

<Handler Request-Type = Accounting-Request>

	AuthByPolicy ContinueAlways

	# proxy to remote

	<AuthBy RADIUS>
		…..
	</AuthBy>

	# normal local processing

	<AuthBy …>
		…..
	</AuthBy>

</Handler>

# authentication

<Handler>

	# normal local processing

	<AuthBy …>
		…..
	</AuthBy>

</Handler>

…..

hope that helps

regards

Hugh
