Call Detail Recording to RADIUS Server
======================================
Configuration of Asterisk to send CDRs to (Free)RADIUS servers.
A. What is needed :
* FreeRADIUS server
* Radiusclient-ng library
* Asterisk PBX
+--------------------+
| Asterisk PBX |
| |
|********************|
| | +---------------+
| RADIUS client |------->| RADIUS server |
| |<-------| (FreeRADIUS) |
+--------------------+ +---------------+
B. Steps to follow in order to have RADIUS support:
1.Radiusclient library
1.a Installation
Download the sources from:
http://developer.berlios.de/projects/radiusclient-ng/
Untar the source tarball.
root@localhost:/usr/local/src# tar xvfz radiusclient-ng-0.5.2.tar.gz
Compile and install the library.
root@localhost:/usr/local/src# cd radiusclient-ng-0.5.2
root@localhost:/usr/local/src/radiusclient-ng-0.5.2# ./configure
root@localhost:/usr/local/src/radiusclient-ng-0.5.2# make
root@localhost:/usr/local/src/radiusclient-ng-0.5.2# make install
1.b Configuration
By default all the configuration files of the radiusclient library will
be in /usr/local/etc/radiusclient-ng directory.
File "radiusclient.conf"
Open the file and find lines containing the following:
authserver localhost
This is the hostname or IP address of the RADIUS server used for
authentication. You will have to change this unless the server is
running on the same host as your Asterisk PBX.
acctserver localhost
This is the hostname or IP address of the RADIUS server used for
accounting. You will have to change this unless the server is running
on the same host as your Asterisk PBX.
File "servers"
RADIUS protocol uses simple access control mechanism based on shared
secrets that allows RADIUS servers to limit access from RADIUS clients.
A RADIUS server is configured with a secret string and only RADIUS
clients that have the same secret will be accepted.
You need to configure a shared secret for each server you have
configured in radiusclient.conf file in the previous step. The shared
secrets are stored in /usr/local/etc/radiusclient-ng/servers file.
Each line contains hostname of a RADIUS server and shared secret
used in communication with that server. The two values are separated
by white spaces. Configure shared secrets for every RADIUS server you
are going to use.
File "dictionary"
Asterisk uses some attributes that are not included in the
dictionary of radiusclient library, therefore it is necesarry to add
them. A file called dictionary.asterisk was created to list all new
attributes used by Asterisk. Add into file
/usr/local/etc/radiusclient-ng/dictionary
the line:
$INCLUDE /path/to/dictionary.asterisk
2.FreeRADIUS Server
2.a Installation
Download sources tarball from:
http://freeradius.org/
Untar, configure, build, and install the server:
root@localhost:/usr/local/src# tar xvfz freeradius-1.1.1.tar.gz
root@localhost:/usr/local/src# cd freeradius-1.1.1
root@localhost"/usr/local/src/freeradius-1.1.1# ./configure
root@localhost"/usr/local/src/freeradius-1.1.1# make
root@localhost"/usr/local/src/freeradius-1.1.1# make install
All the configuration files of FreeRADIUS server will be in
/usr/local/etc/raddb directory.
2.b Configuration
There are several file that have to be modified to configure the
RADIUS server. These are presented next.
File "clients.conf"
File /usr/local/etc/raddb/clients.conf contains description of
RADIUS clients that are allowed to use the server. For each of the
clients you need to specify its hostname or IP address and also a
shared secret. The shared secret must be the same string you configured
in radiusclient library.
Example:
client myhost {
secret = mysecret
shortname = foo
}
This fragment allows access from RADIUS clients on "myhost" if they use
"mysecret" as the shared secret.
The file already contains an entry for localhost (127.0.0.1), so if you
are running the RADIUS server on the same host as your Asterisk server,
then modify the existing entry instead, replacing the default password.
File "dictionary"
File /usr/local/etc/raddb/dictionary contains the dictionary of
FreeRADIUS server. You have to add the same dictionary file
(dictionary.asterisk), which you added to the dictionary of radiusclient-ng
library. You can include it into the main file, adding the following line at the
end of file '/usr/local/etc/raddb/dictionary':
$INCLUDE /path/to/dictionary.digium
That will include the same new attribute definitions that are used
in radiusclient-ng library so the client and server will understand each
other.
3. Asterisk Accounting Configuration
Compilation and installation:
The module will be compiled as long as the radiusclient-ng
library has been detected on your system.
By default FreeRADIUS server will log all accounting requests into
/usr/local/var/log/radius/radacct directory in form of plain text files.
The server will create one file for each hostname in the directory. The
following example shows how the log files look like.
Asterisk now generates Call Detail Records. See /include/asterisk/cdr.h
for all the fields which are recorded. By default, records in comma
separated values will be created in /var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv.
The configuration file for cdr_radius.so module is :
/etc/asterisk/cdr.conf
This is where you can set CDR related parameters as well as the path to
the radiusclient-ng library configuration file.
4. Logged Values
"Asterisk-Acc-Code", The account name of detail records
"Asterisk-Src",
"Asterisk-Dst",
"Asterisk-Dst-Ctx", The destination context
"Asterisk-Clid",
