RE: (ASCEND) Multiple dial-in's not allowed

You should be aware though, the attribute you're using:

	Ascend-Maximum-Channels

is a _per session_ attribute, and is used to specify the number of channels
each user session is allowed.  This does not have anything to do with
concurrency.

There is another attribute, which is called "Port-Limit."  It's in the RFC,
but I'm not sure that Ascend properly supports it.

If you want some concurrency control (as opposed to catching it a month
later), you should give Cistron radiusd a shot.  It's a very nice package.

PS: This post based on experience.  It may very well be that I'm totally
lost on how this crap really works :)

** The person before me set up our maxen to not allow multiple
** users with the
** same username to connect. However, there are now some people who
** I want to
** be able to give multiple connections to. I put in radius profile the
** attributes:
**
** Ascend-Maximum-Channels=2
** Framed-Protocol=1
** User-Service=2
**
** and it seems to work sometimes.  However sometimes it will not work at
** all.  It affects all users the same. I see in the log when
** telnetted into
** the max box that it says LAN Security error but I do not see them in my
** radius error logs.
**
** It however appears to them to connect them and then immediately
** disconnect
** them. This is what I call a MAX refusal because it is what it
** did before I
** had our billing system doing concurrency checking and the max
** would do it
** like this.
**
** Any ideas why it would work sometimes but not others? It appears
** that when
** it gets busy the MAX doesn't receive or ignores the RADIUS attributes.
**
** Thanks for any help!
