Problem with freeradius

[fmohcine26]

I recently wanted to use '' Download quantity and download traffic ''
limit the amount of traffic of each user in 1200 Mb per day
But when i fill the box '' Quantity of download and download of traffic '' by the number volus: 1200
this user account no longer works, while all other accounts are working properly
Things are fine when I delete the number of traffic in the box.
in pictures all the manipulations I made;
I added a cronjobe << 0 0 * * * root / bin / rm / var / log / radacct / datacounter / day / used-bytes - * >>

Thank very much

Your last image : as per https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Using_Captive_Portal_with_FreeRADIUS - Section : Amount of Traffic the option "re-authenticate users every minute" should be set so the user gets disconnected.
Otherwise your limit of "1200" (Mbytes) will not work …

What I did to check / debug all this :
I read this : https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Testing_FreeRADIUS
This : https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Additional_Logging_for_FreeRADIUS (written for 2.x but useful).

Also : when your setup is ok, goto    Status => Services
STOP the radius daemon.

Acces the console. Take option 8 - SSH access.
Type```
radiusd -h

Read …
Find the option -X
Use it !

Start radfius by hand using
**radiusd -X**

(or **radiusd -X -xx**)

Now you have all the info - there should be no red lines.

Keep this console window open.

Now login with a user on the captive portal.

The entire login info will be laid out, and it's easy to find what went wrong.

Questions about what being shown , Normal. Radius is not some small program, it's huge, took me days of just reading this one https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeRADIUS and many others. With manuals, Radius (FreeRadius) is useless.

This won't work  :) For example, "day" doesn't exist.

See image for my cron entries, I used the the cron package of course.
