Accounting
When network access is granted to the user by the NAS, an Accounting Start is sent by the NAS to the RADIUS server to signal the start of the user's network access. "Start" records typically contain the user's identification, network address, point of attachment and a unique session identifier.
Periodically, Interim Update records (a RADIUS Accounting Request packet containing an Acct-Status-Type attribute with the value "interim-update") may be sent by the NAS to the RADIUS server, to update it on the status of an active session. "Interim" records typically convey the current session duration and information on current data usage.
Finally, when the user's network access is closed, the NAS issues a final Accounting Stop record (a RADIUS Accounting Request packet containing an Acct-Status-Type attribute with the value "stop") to the RADIUS server, providing information on the final usage in terms of time, packets transferred, data transferred, reason for disconnect and other information related to the user's network access.
Typically, the client sends Accounting-Request packets until it receives an Accounting-Response acknowledgement, using some retry interval.
The primary purpose of this data is that the user can be billed accordingly; the data is also commonly used for statistical purposes and for general network monitoring.[1]
The imRAD receives and saves such accounting and you can see all accounts or can search a specific accounts. The accounts have several items. Please refer to the Accounting what each item means.
Poatauth
The Postauth is detail module logs after processing requests from users. The imRAD RADIUS can reject or accept for a request. You can check why a user was not authenticated or authorized by searching the Postauth log.
The items in the Postauth log are very similar to the accounting log and can see the details at the Accounting.
