Description

Recently I migrated from Mikrotik to daloRadius for AAA. I implemented the below in Mikrotik to prevent frequent request for login as long as the user is authenticated. When MAC cookie feature is enabled (login-by=mac-cookie, add-mac-cookie=yes set in user profile), following actions are taken: first successful login. Mac cookie keeps record of username and password for the MAC address if there is only one host with such MAC. Cookie timeout is set to value equal to mac-cookie-timeout.

What kind attributes will achieve the above scenario in daloradius environment?

I need help. Thanks.

Research direction
Review daloRADIUS documentation and configuration files (like raddb/sites available/dalo radius) to understand MAC cookie handling. Check FreeRADIUS attribute 'Mac Auth Username' and 'Mac Auth Password' and the 'mac cookie timeout' setting in Mikrotik. Implement a similar mechanism by configuring session timeout or custom attributes in daloRADIUS that mimic the MAC cookie behavior.
