#About

daloRADIUS is an advanced RADIUS web management application aimed at managing hotspots and general-purpose ISP deployments. It features user management, graphical reporting, accounting, a billing engine and integrates with GoogleMaps for geo-locating.

daloRADIUS is written in PHP and JavaScript and utilizes a database abstraction layer which means that it supports many database systems, among them the popular MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sqlite, MsSQL, and many others.

It is based on a FreeRADIUS deployment with a database server serving as the backend. Among other features it implements ACLs, GoogleMaps integration for locating hotspots/access points visually and many more features.

###HotSpots Accounting

* Comparison of Accounting for different HotSpots
  provides information on hotspot's unique users, total hits, average time and total time

###GIS - Geographical Information System

daloRADIUS comes with integrated support for GIS provided by GoogleMaps and thus
provides the ability to visually locate deployed HotSpots across a map, see their status,
and monitor them visually.

* View Map
  Provides functionality of monitoring deployed HotSpots

* Edit Map
  Provides functionality for adding or deleting HotSpots from within the map itself
  (i.e: no need to go to HotSpots Management page and delete or create a new one there)

##Reporting

###Basic Reporting

* Online Users
  View Online users, users that are connected to the system from all NASes at a current
  point in time.
* Last Connection Attempts
  View last connection attempts and their status - whether they were rejected or successful
* Search Users
  Search for Users - similar to the functionality in User Management page
* Top Users
  View a report of the Top Users based on their Bandwidth consumption or Time usage

###Logs Reporting

* daloRADIUS Log
  daloRADIUS keeps a log file for all the actions it performs itself (viewing pages,
  form actions like deleting users, creating new hotspots, queries submission as in
  performing user accounting and more)
* RADIUS Server Log
  Provides monitoring of the freeradius server logfile
* System Log
  Provides monitoring of the system log, being syslog or messages, depends.
* Boot Log

* Server Status
  Provides detailed information on the server daloRADIUS is deployed.
  Information such as CPU utilization, uptime, memory, disks information, and more.
* RADIUS Status
  Provides information whether the freeradius server is running along with the database
  server (mysql, postgresql, or others)

##Graphs

###Users Graphs Provides visual graphs and statistical listing per user connection's attributes, being:

* Logins/Hits
* Download
* Upload

###Server-Wide Graphs Provides visual graphs and statistical listing for the entire server, all-time information on:

* Logins/Hits
* Traffic Comparison

##Configuration

###Global Configuration

* Database Settings
  Database connection information (storage: mysql, postgresql and others),
  credentials (username and password), radius database tables names (radcheck, radacct, etc),
  and database password encryption type (none, md5, sha1)

  Table listing spanning across multiple pages is configurable on number of rows per page
  and addition of numbers links for quick-access to different pages.

###Maintenance

* Test User Connectivity
  Provides the ability to check if a user's credentials (username and password) are valid by
  executing a radius query to a radius server (configurable for radius port, shared secret, etc)
* Disconnect User
  Supply a username and send a PoD (Packet of Disconnect) or CoA (Change of Authority) packet
  to the NAS to disconnect the user.

###Operators

daloRADIUS supports Operators for complete management of the entire platform. Different Operators can be added with their contact information and ACLs settings to grant or revoke them of permissions to access different pages.
