[Asterisk-Users] Re: * with RADIUS

[Doug Shubert]

Hello,
We use RADIUS with a MySQL backend database server for dialup
authentication.
Because our accounting system is XML based, I would prefer to use one AAA
(i.e RADIUS)
server to provision and validate our VoIP UA's. LDAP is another AAA solution
we are looking at using.
Of course a direct SQL connection from * would still work with the backend.
