Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 9d7339f317 Perform quicker cleanup of sessions which their user explicitly disconnected
When a user explicitly disconnects after the session is open,
cleanup its entry immediatelly. That ensures that a radius
server will be notified sooner, while anyconnect clients which
disconnect early (before session is open), remain unaffected.

Using Radius with ocserv

For radius support the radcli library is required. The minimum requirement is version 1.2.0. Alternatively the freeradius-client library can be used (1.1.7 is the minimum requirement), but not all radius features may be available.

radcli uses a configuration file to setup the server configuration. That is typically found at: /etc/radcli/radiusclient.conf and is best to copy the default installed as radiusclient-ocserv.conf and edit it accordingly.

The important options for ocserv usage are the following:

dictionary 	/etc/radcli/dictionary
servers         /etc/radcli/servers

The dictionary should contain at least the attributes shown below, and the servers file should contain the radius server to use.

Note, that ocserv provides the 'NAS-Port' attribute to server, which corresponds to the worker process PID value. This PID value may change during accounting (because the client may be handled by a different process/port). To make the port change, not affect the radius server's unique ID, you must configure the server not to account NAS-Port. In freeradius servers for example you have to remove the NAS-Port attribute from the acct_unique section.

Ocserv configuration

For authentication the following line should be enabled.

auth = "radius[config=/etc/radcli/radiusclient.conf,groupconfig=true]"

Check the ocserv manpage for the meaning of the various options such as groupconfig.

To enable accounting, use

acct = "radius[config=/etc/radcli/radiusclient.conf]"

and modify the following option to the time (in seconds), that accounting information should be reported.

stats-report-time = 360

That value will be overridden by Acct-Interim-Interval if sent by the server.

Note that the accounting session is reported as terminated as soon as possible when the user disconnects explicitly. When the disconnection is due to timeout or other network reasons, the users have their connection remain valid until the cookie-timeout value expires.
