Pn-IPACCT - technical specification
System components (Web Server, SQL, RADIUS, NAS) can be installed on more physically separated servers. Separation of individual service is the recommended configuration in highly demanding environments in order to ensure service redundancy, higher availability and reduce the total burden of server components
Operating System
Pn-IPACCT system is designed for compatibility and portability to multiple operating systems (Linux, FreeBSD and Windows Server).
Radius / SQL Server
Radius server component is responsible managing AAA, authorization, authentication. As a Radius server Pn-IPACCT system uses modified FreeRADIUS, an excellent open source and feature rich Radius Server. User data is stored in PostgreSQL database, which is adapted for accommodating additional information and attributes of Pn-IPACCT system.
Web server
Pn-IPACCT system is compatible with any web servers that support SSL and virtual hosts. Apache Web Server v2 is the recommended configuration for a set of functionality, security and reliability.
NAS hardware
NAS device is physically separated from central server and acts as an intermediary between the client and central server. NAS device needs to support WISPr RADIUS Attributes to interact with Pn-IPACCT system. Supported NASs:
