The default freeradius schema does not include a table where groups are stored, but django-freeradius adds a model called RadiusGroup
and alters the default freeradius schema to add some optional foreign-keys from other tables like:
radgroupcheck
radgroupreply
radusergroup
These foreign keys make it easier to automate many synchronization and integrity checks between the RadiusGroup
table and its related tables but they are not strictly mandatory from the database point of view: their value can be NULL
and their presence and validation is handled at application level, this makes it easy to use existing freeradius databases.
For each group, checks and replies can be specified directly in the edit page of a Radius Group (admin
> groups
> add group
or change group
).
Some groups are created automatically by django-freeradius during the initial migrations:
users
: this is the deafult group which limits users sessions to 3 hours and 300 MB (daily)power-users
: this group does not have any check, therefore users who are members of this group won't be limited in any way
You can customize the checks and the replies of these groups, as well as create new groups according to your needs and preferences.
Note on the default group: keep in mind that the group flagged as default will by automatically assigned to new users, it cannot be deleted nor it can be flagged as non-default: to set another group as default simply check that group as the deafult one, save and django-freeradius will remove the default flag from the old default group.
