Accounting – RADIUS Session Accounting and User Activity Reports

Overview

The Accounting page provides detailed RADIUS accounting records for all authenticated sessions processed by MideyeServer. Each entry captures the session timestamp, authenticated username, mobile number, RADIUS client, LDAP profile, group membership, and department — giving administrators a complete audit trail of user activity.

Use accounting data for compliance reporting, license usage analysis, department-level authentication statistics, and billing purposes. The page supports multi-dimensional filtering and CSV export, enabling you to generate targeted reports for specific time periods, user populations, or organizational units.

A unique user counter provides a quick summary of how many distinct users authenticated within the selected filter criteria — useful for license compliance and capacity planning.

Features & Configuration

Viewing Accounting Records

The data grid displays accounting entries with server-side pagination and sorting. Records are sorted by time in descending order by default, with today’s date range pre-selected.

Column	Default Visible	Description
Time	✅	Timestamp of the accounting event
Username	✅	Authenticated user identity
RADIUS Client Name	❌ (hidden)	Name of the NAS that initiated the session
MSISDN	✅	Mobile phone number
LDAP Profile Name	✅	Directory profile used for authentication
Group Name	✅	LDAP group membership
Department Name	✅	Organizational department

Unique User Count

Above the data grid, a summary indicator displays: “Number of unique users: N” — showing the count of distinct users matching the current filter criteria. This counter updates automatically when filters change.

Filtering Accounting Data

Click the Filter icon in the toolbar to open the filter panel. All filter values are debounced (1-second delay).

Filter	Type	Description
Start Date	Date picker	Beginning of the reporting period (defaults to today at midnight)
End Date	Date picker	End of the reporting period (defaults to end of today)
Username	Text input	Search by username
RADIUS Clients	Multi-select	Filter by one or more RADIUS client names
Groups	Multi-select	Filter by LDAP group membership
LDAP Profiles	Multi-select	Filter by directory profile
Departments	Multi-select	Filter by organizational department

All multi-select dropdown options are dynamically populated from the available accounting data, ensuring only relevant filter values are presented.

Exporting Accounting Data to CSV

Click the Export (download) icon in the data grid toolbar to open the export dialog.

Export Dialog:

• Confirmation message: “Do you want to export the accounting search result to CSV file?”
• The export uses the current filter criteria to determine which records to include.
• On confirmation, the browser downloads a CSV file.

CSV File Details:

Header	Field
Time	Session timestamp
Username	User identity
Msisdn	Mobile phone number
RadiusClient	NAS device name
LdapProfile	Directory profile name
Group	Group membership
Department	Department name

Filename format: accounting_yyyyMMddHHmmss.csv

Note

The export retrieves all records matching the current filter criteria, not just the currently visible page. For large datasets, the export may take a moment to prepare.

Actions

Filter

Purpose: Generate targeted accounting reports by restricting the data to specific criteria. Steps:

1. Click the Filter icon.
2. Set date range and any additional filters.
3. Click Apply.

Result: Data grid and unique user count update to reflect the filtered dataset.

Export

Purpose: Download accounting data as a CSV file for offline analysis or compliance reporting. Prerequisites: At least one accounting record must match the current filter criteria. Steps:

1. Click the Export (download) icon in the toolbar.
2. Confirm the export in the dialog.

Result: A CSV file is downloaded to the browser with all matching accounting records.

Refresh

Purpose: Reload accounting data from the server. Steps: Click the Refresh (loop) icon in the toolbar. Result: Data grid and unique user count refresh with the latest data.

Common Use Cases

Monthly User Activity Report

1. Set the Start Date to the first day of the month and End Date to the last day.
2. Review the unique user count for license compliance.
3. Export to CSV for detailed analysis.

Department-Level Authentication Statistics

1. Filter by a specific Department using the multi-select filter.
2. Review the total records and unique user count.
3. Repeat for other departments or export each for comparison.

Identifying Unused RADIUS Clients

1. Set a broad date range (e.g., last 90 days).
2. Compare the RADIUS Clients that appear in accounting data against your configured clients.
3. Clients with no accounting entries may be candidates for decommissioning.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Possible Cause	Resolution
No accounting records	Date range too narrow	Expand the date range
Export downloads empty file	No records match filters	Verify filters and date range
LDAP Profile or Group shows empty	User authenticated via database, not LDAP	These fields are only populated for directory-authenticated users
Filter dropdown shows no options	No data exists for that filter dimension	Ensure accounting records exist for the selected time range
