[Chilli] CoovaChilli NAS Static Port Number For Logoff

[Russell Mike]

Dear List

i need help, i have build central CoovaChilli captive portal in ISP NOC
data centre. This serves about 260 hotspots across the city from central
location (hosted environment). It has some cool features such as, Log off,
Top-Up. As soon as users logs in successfully, a small window pop up which
has logoff & Top-up switches. When user clicks on logoff, in the
background, i execute following command on FreeRADIUS to logoff user. By
doing so, FreeRADIUS send disconnection message to NAS (CoovaChilli) on the
port 53467 in this example.


*echo "User-Name='{username}'" | radclient -x {localhost}:{53467}
disconnect radiusSecret*


This works fine except that the port number changes from time to time on
NAS restart and i have to manually edit the port number for the logout
mechanism to work every time.

Could you please tell, if its possible to set a static port number or if
that is not possible, a better way to execute logout command on FreeRADIUS
to logout user.

*Problem Definition:* When NAS (CoovaChilli) restarts this port got change
every time.

I would highly appreciate & grateful for any kind of help.

Thanks /    --RM
