GRASE Hotspot
Getting Configuration from RADIUS Server
One of the lesser used features of Coova Chilli (ChilliSpot) seems to be the radconfig stuff. This allows you to store settings in the RADIUS database instead of in the config files. You can even change settings while the server is running, and they will be reloaded roughly every hour (I believe). Documentation for this is rather sparse however.
Firstly, you need an Administrator user in your radcheck tables. For example, we’ll use radmin as our admin user with the password foobar.
Our radcheck table will look something like the following
| Username | Attribute | OP | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| radmin | Password | := | foobar |
| radmin | Service-Type | == | Administrative-User |
Our radreply table can now contain attributes that will configure the hotspot. It might look something like this.
| Username | Attribute | OP | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| radmin | ChilliSpot-Config | += | macpasswd=apples |
| radmin | ChilliSpot-Config | += | uamallowed=mysite.com |
| radmin | ChilliSpot-Config | += | uamallowed=sistersite.com |

Hello, i have configured grasehotspot 2, the parameter nousergardendata was added automatically to the file /etc/chilli/local.conf; but every time i restart the server, it causes an error in the startup because of this parameter, i have to restart in single mode, remove this parameter then the server restarts correctly, how can i permanently disable that parameter?
Thanks.
Hi. You need to update your chilli version. The latest chilli version supports the nousergardendata option.
Run “apt-cache policy coova-chilli” to check that it’s updated.
