3545.0. "How compatible is DRAS and Radius?" by ALFSS1::16.179.128.181::Biazzo (Digital has had it now!) Mon Jun 02 1997 20:26

What version of Radius is DRAS based upon?

If a customer runs Radius from Livingston at one site and DRAS at another are 
the file formats the same?

    No, the DRAS and Livingston database file formats are not compatible. 
    The DRAS code is not based on the livingston RADIUS code.
    
    If all goes well we may be able in the near future to supply a batch
    load program that takes the text-based Livingston user account file and
    batch load it into a DRAS database.

3545.2I need to ask my question differently.ALFSS1::16.179.128.181::BiazzoDigital has had it now!Tue Jun 03 1997 20:5222
I think I didn't ask my question properly.  I am not concerned about the 
username/password database.  We will populate that manually with the GUI 
front end as there are not that many user records yet.

I was referring to the output/log file or the actual records that are written 
when a user logs in and out.  I have one customer site using Livingston 
Portmasters and Livingston's Radius for activity logging.  This is an ISP in 
Barbados.  We now have another ISP for the same large customer going into the 
Turks and Caicos Islands but they are using DECservers. 

The Barbados customer has written some routines that sort and consolidate the 
Radius records into a separate file that is then used as input to their 
corporate billing system.

We want to be able to use the same sorting and consolidation routines on the 
Radius records that are output by DRAS.  The Turks and Caicos site uses the 
same corporate billing system.

Are we going to have a problem or are the output (logging) records the same 
format? 

Thanks in advance.
