This chapter provides reference information for Oracle Communications Billing and Revenue Management (BRM) RADIUS Manager utilities.
Use the pin_ipass_loader utility to load the iPass call detail records (CDRs) into the BRM database.
For more information, see "Using the pin_ipass_loader Utility for Batch Accounting" and "Setting Up iPass Roaming".
Important:
To connect to the BRM database, the pin_ipass_loader utility needs a configuration file in the directory from which you run the utility. See "Creating Configuration Files for BRM Utilities" in BRM System Administrator's Guide.pin_ipass_loader -f input_file -s session_length_rate [-c cost_rate] -u qualified | unqualified -p problem_file [-m] monthly_charge_rate -t [-h][-v]
Specifies the name of the CDR file. The default is stdin. See "iPass Call Detail Record File Definition".
Specifies the rate based on session length. The default is ip/dialup/async/hourly.
Rate based on session cost rating.
Includes or excludes the domain in user name searches. The default is unqualified.
Specifies the name of problem file. The default is pin_ipass_loader.problem.yyyymmddhhmm. The file is placed by default in BRM_home/.
(Optional) Rate based on monthly iPass charges.
Specifies test mode, which parses the file and runs consistency checks without modifying the database.
Displays information about successful or failed processing as the utility runs.
Displays the syntax and parameters for this utility.
Use the pin_radiusd_sig utility to initiate dynamic reconfiguration of the RADIUS server, extract information about the RADIUS server, and stop the RADIUS server.
For more information, see "Reconfiguring Your RADIUS Server without Stopping Operation".
Important:
To connect to the Oracle Communications Billing and Revenue Management (BRM) database, the pin_radiusd_sig utility needs a configuration file in the directory from which you run the utility. See "Creating Configuration Files for BRM Utilities" in BRM System Administrator's Guide.Initiates dynamic reconfiguration. This parameter causes the server to reload the pin_radiusd config file containing the changes that you want to deploy.
Logs status information about the RADIUS server to the radius.pinlog log file, /var/portal/7.5/radius/radius.pinlog.
Shuts down the RADIUS server.
Specifies the name of the RADIUS server host computer.
Specifies the port number that the server listens to for requests.
Specifies the secret shared between the client NAS (network access server) and RADIUS Manager.
Use the pin_term_acct utility to simulate receiving Accounting-On or Accounting-Off requests from a terminal server by manually calling the PCM_OP_IP_DIALUP_ACCOUNTING_ON and PCM_OP_IP_DIALUP_ACCOUNTING_OFF opcodes from RADIUS Manager. You can also use pin_term_acct to monitor all opened sessions based on TERMSERV_ID.
For more information, see "About the Account Request Utility".
Note:
To connect to the Oracle Communications Billing and Revenue Management (BRM) database, the pin_term_acct utility needs a configuration file in the directory from which you run the utility. See "Creating Configuration Files for BRM Utilities" in BRM System Administrator's Guide.BRM_home/bin
The configuration file for this utility is located in BRM_home/apps/pinapps/pin_term_acct/pin.conf.
pin_term_acct -m list|on|off -n termserv_id -v verbose -d days -t hh:mm:ss -c charge mode [-h] help
Sets the mode of operation.
list mode (default) displays a list of all open sessions.
on sends an Accounting-On request.
off sends an Accounting-Off request.
You use these parameters to simulate end-of-cycle usage. See "Listing All Open Sessions" for the output format.
Specifies the terminal server ID. This parameter is optional in list mode. If not specified in list mode, the default is all terminal servers.
Displays information about successful or failed processing as the utility runs.
Specifies the date that an Accounting-On/Accounting-Off event occurs. The default is today's date.
Specifies the time that an Accounting-On/Accounting-Off event occurs. The default is the current time. Hours are in 24-hour format.
Specifies the charge mode.
NC (the default) does not charge sessions that were closed in off mode.
C charges sessions that were closed in off mode.
This parameter has no effect in list and on modes.
Displays the syntax and parameters for this utility.
Use the rad_tester utility to send RADIUS packets to the RADIUS server to replicate a terminal server.
For more information, see "Testing a RADIUS Configuration".
Important:
To connect to the Oracle Communications Billing and Revenue Management (BRM) database, the rad_tester utility needs a configuration file in the directory from which you run the utility. See "Creating Configuration Files for BRM Utilities" in BRM System Administrator's Guide.rad_tester -h host_name -p port_number -a port_number -s secret -f input_file [-r] input_file [-O] sss-d dictionary_file_name [-D] [-v]
Note:
These parameters are case sensitive.Host name of the RADIUS server. The default is the local host name.
Authorization port.
Accounting port.
Shared RADIUS secret. The default is testing123.
Input file name. The default is stdin.
Number of times to re-send a request when the request times-out. The default is 3.
Timeout value in seconds to wait for an ACK to a send request. The default is 10.
Specifies the dictionary file. See "Selecting the Data Dictionary".
Debug mode.
Displays information about successful or failed processing as the utility runs.
