Synced leases with HA standby cause RADIUS accounting packets
If the Kea HA peers (libdhcp_ha.so
) are configured to send RADIUS accounting packets using the libdhcp_radius.so
hook, then the standby peer also sends accounting packets on lease sync. This can create a few problems such as:
- The "acct-session-id" will not match between the accounting packets sent from the primary and standby Kea peers.
- The timestamp of the event may not match between the packets sent from the primary and standby Kea peers.
- If there were attributes gathered via the RADIUS authentication process, this will not have occurred on the standy peer. Therefore, there may be missing data in the accounting packet.
Propose that some type of flag to disable sending these accounting updates from the standby server be added.
