Can User Manager augment accounts from remote sources?

Thu Aug 18, 2022 3:42 pm

I've read the documentation, old and new but I can't find a straight answer to this.

Can the User Manager module/pkg (or the built-in Users module at least) augment accounts (i.e; provide missing or override attributes such as IP address, VLAN, etc) for accounts sourced either via a live queried or synced LDAP directory(ies) or from remote (a) RADIUS server(s)? (i.e; making User Manager a RADIUS Proxy)

User Manager is a great feature of Mikrotik products but it's useless if it can't integrate with an existing user database. If it's capable of doing so, was there any change on this capability between ROS/CHR v6 and v7?

Thanks.

I was re-reading https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/RADIUS and there this sentence which made me think I should clarify.

The sentence reads "The MikroTik RouterOS has a RADIUS client that can authenticate for HotSpot, PPP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, and ISDN connections.". These are all services hosted on/by RouterOS/Cloud Hosted Router.

My question is in regard of the latter two serving as [Proxy] RADIUS servers. Sorry for the mixup (if any). :)
