I’m testing a new setup at the moment where I want to change the way of billing.
At the moment I have setup a billing platform with radius, setup a Mikrotik hotspot to authenticate to the radius server, that works all fine.
What I want to do now is make is make a drop down menu on the login page where you can select what internet speed you want to have (on the radius site this means a different rate)
Radius site is all done and working, but now I have to send an extra attribute to the radius server during authenticate.
In the manual there is something about radius to send, but I don’t know how to setup or can’t find any example.
so in basic what I want to do on the login page is send extra radius attributes.
What I want to do now is make is make a drop down menu on the login page where you can select what internet speed you want to have (on the radius site this means a different rate)
Don’t you mean a dropdown box on the purchase or signup page? If you let your users select the bandwidth on the login page, only a retarded user would select low.
I’m building some sort of a credits system, in other words, you buy credits and it’s up to you how to use it, if you want to use 1 hour fast internet it cost you x credits, if you want to buy the next hour one hour slow speed internet it will cost you y credits.
everything will be handled by the radius server, the only thing I need is to send this info in the radius request when the user logs in, and that’s the part I don’t know how to do that.
The radius part is working, only thing is I can’t get it to work to send extra info besides the username and password within the radius request from the hotspot.
