# -*- text -*- ###################################################################### # # In 2.0.0, radrelay functionality is integrated into the # server core. This virtual server gives an example of # using radrelay functionality inside of the server. # # In this example, the detail file is read, and the packets # are proxied to a home server. You will have to configure # realms, home_server_pool, and home_server in proxy.conf # for this to work. # # The purpose of this virtual server is to enable duplication # of information across a load-balanced, or fail-over set of # servers. For example, if a group of clients lists two # home servers (primary, secondary), then RADIUS accounting # messages will go only to one server at a time. This file # configures a server (primary, secondary) to send copies of # the accounting information to each other. # # That way, each server has the same set of information, and # can make the same decision about the user. # # $Id$ # ###################################################################### server copy-acct-to-home-server { listen { type = detail # # See sites-available/buffered-sql for more details on # all the options available for the detail reader. # ###################################################### # # !!!! WARNING !!!! # # The detail file reader acts just like a NAS. # # This means that if accounting fails, the packet # is re-tried FOREVER. It is YOUR responsibility # to write an accounting policy that returns "ok" # if the packet was processed properly, "fail" on # a database error, AND "ok" if you want to ignore # the packet (e.g. no Acct-Status-Type). # # Neither the detail file write OR the detail file # reader look at the contents of the packets. They # just either dump the packet verbatim to the file, # or read it verbatim from the file and pass it to # the server. # ###################################################### # The location where the detail file is located. # This should be on local disk, and NOT on an NFS # mounted location! # # On most systems, this should support file globbing # e.g. "${radacctdir}/detail-*:*" # This lets you write many smaller detail files as in # the example in radiusd.conf: ".../detail-%Y%m%d:%H" # Writing many small files is often better than writing # one large file. File globbing also means that with # a common naming scheme for detail files, then you can # have many detail file writers, and only one reader. # # Do NOT copy the "filename" configuration from the # "detail" module here. It won't work. Instead, use # file globbing (or wildcards), such as: # # filename = ${radacctdir}/reader1/detail-* # filename = ${radacctdir}/detail # # The server can read accounting packets from the # detail file much more quickly than those packets # can be written to a database. If the database is # overloaded, then bad things can happen. # # The server will keep track of how long it takes to # process an entry from the detail file. It will # then pause between handling entries. This pause # allows databases to "catch up", and gives the # server time to notice that other packets may have # arrived. # # The pause is calculated dynamically, to ensure that # the load due to reading the detail files is limited # to a small percentage of CPU time. The # "load_factor" configuration item is a number # between 1 and 100. The server will try to keep the # percentage of time taken by "detail" file entries # to "load_factor" percentage of the CPU time. # # If the "load_factor" is set to 100, then the server # will read packets as fast as it can, usually # causing databases to go into overload. # load_factor = 10 # # Track progress through the detail file. When the detail # file is large, and the server is re-started, it will # read from the START of the file. # # Setting "track = yes" means it will skip packets which # have already been processed. The default is "no". # # track = yes } # # Pre-accounting. Decide which accounting type to use. # preacct { preprocess # Since we're just proxying, we don't need acct_unique. # # Look for IPASS-style 'realm/', and if not found, look for # '@realm', and decide whether or not to proxy, based on # that. # # Accounting requests are generally proxied to the same # home server as authentication requests. # IPASS # suffix # ntdomain # # Edit proxy.conf to add a "home_server" section, # which points to the other server. # # Then set that home_server name here. # update control { Home-Server-Name := "name_of_home_server_from_proxy.conf" } # # Read the 'acct_users' file.
