-====== Generic RADIUS Driver ====== 
- 
-**Contact:** [[mailto:jan@iptel.org|Jan Janak]]

-===== Abstract ===== 
-The sip-router server contains several modules that can talk to a RADIUS server. We have acc_radius 
-module that implements RADIUS accounting, we have auth_radius module which implementes digest 
-authentication against a RADIUS server, we have a couple of other modules that can be used to retrieve 
-bits of information from a RADIUS server. All these modules depend on a RADIUS client library and 
-these is some portion of code that needs to be duplicated in those modules. 
- 
-The goal of this task is to develop a generic RADIUS module called db_radius which can be then reused 
-from all other RADIUS-modules. Instead of having acc_radius we will simply use acc_db to do RADIUS 
-accounting, instead of acc_radius we will use acc_db to perform RADIUS digest authentication, and so 
-on. 
- 
-A RADIUS server is in fact nothing else than a special type of database running on a remote host and 
-speaking the RADIUS protocol and thus we can develop a generic RADIUS database driver which will 
-convert database operations performed by other sip-router modules through the database abstraction 
-layer to RADIUS queries. 
- 
-===== State of the Art ===== 
-RADIUS related functionality is currently scattered across a number of sip-router modules. We have 
-  * **acc_radius**: 
-  * **auth_radius** 
-  * **misc_radius** 
- 
-All three modules share some parts of RADIUS related code. All the modules have similar parameters, 
-for example, they all need to be configured with a path to the configuration file of the radius 
-client library. They all need to be provided with the radius attribute dictionary, and so on.
