Re: AcceptUnregisteredCalls and RadAliasAuth setup problem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There is a new "SetupUnreg" Gatekeeper::Auth tag in the cvs that triggers
authentication for unregistered endpoints only, so you config should translate
to something like:

[Gatekeeper::Auth]
RadAuth=optional;RRQ,ARQ
RadAliasAuth=sufficient;RRQ,ARQ,SetupUnreg

Having Acct-Stop without Acct-Start actually can often quite often, if no signalling
channel has been opened. For example, ARQ has been received and the call record
timed out. I am sure you can easily detect this situation inside a trigger, whether Acct-Stop
inserts a new call record (no Acct-Start) or just updates an existing one.
Also I am not sure if it is a good idea to keep track of simultaneous calls via acct-start/acct-stop.
I can easily imagine some situation that will break this (network failure, gatekeeper crash)
and you will end up with incorrect counter.

username/password pair, but my billing expects chap_password for this user)

accouning messages without delivering service, or at least to send acct-stop without acct-start. In my billing acct-stop decrements
simultaneous usage counter (that is incremented by acct-start) and sending acct-stop without acct-start is a security problem for
billing systems that tracks simultaneous usage limit the same way.
