folks, still trying to make it work with freeradius...as given in the Radius-howto i modified the sip_router/modules/acc/Makefile and uncommented the lines containing: DEFS+=-DRAD_ACCLIBS=-L$(LOCALBASE)/lib -lradiusclient now when i try to do make install (after make proper and make all), it gives me the following error /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lradiusclient any clue?? cheers.. naresh Ricardo Martinez &lt;rmartinez(a)redvoiss.net&gt; wrote:Hello. Mmmhh, are you sure you modified the de www_challenge for the proxy_challenge in the ser.cfg file?. I use RADIATOR as my Radius Server so i'm not very familiarized with freeRadius. But for the debug it seems to be an error maybe with the configuration from the Radius Server? For example , is normal this : Invalid operator for item Suffix: reverting to '==' ? Maybe somone that uses freeRadius could give you more details. To accounting i use Radiator but working together with an Oracle Database, i use the Start and Stop message from SER to bill the call.

As far as i know for the REGISTER message (authentication) you need the statement : radius_www_authorize But for the INVITE you need to call "radius_proxy_authorize". This is what i have in my ser.cfg if (method=="INVITE") { if (!radius_proxy_authorize("")) { proxy_challenge("","1"); break; }; }; maybe you can try this and tell me how it works.

The version of radius client is radiusclient-ng-0.5.1.

As you can see from the above configuration, the authentication works perfect, its only in the authorization where it fails. Also can you please let me know about the accounting configuration?? Thanks a lot.. Naresh Ricardo Martinez &lt;rmartinez(a)redvoiss.net&gt; wrote: Hello Naresh I have authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) through radius working fine.

I am using the same configuration as mentioned in the radius-howto. Authentication works perfect as I am able to authenticate using the radius server. However while authorizing against the radius server to make a call I get the following error: auth: No authenticate method (Auth-Type) configuration found for the user request: Rejecting the user auth: Failed to validate the user. Delaying request 2 for 1 seconds Finished request 2 When I authorize against the mysql database, it works fine. Any clue???
