3.42.31. Asynchronous

The default behaviour for

<AuthBy
                     RADIUS>

is to return IGNORE as soon as the request has been forwarded to the remote RADIUS server. It does not wait for a reply before moving on to other AuthBy classes, or handling new requests. You can change this behaviour with the Asynchronous flag. This flag is recommended for all new configurations.

When you enable the Asynchronous flag, Handler continues to evaluate its AuthBy policy after a reply or timeout from the remote proxy. Other requests are processed while the reply is pending. Asynchronous is supported by

<AuthBy
                     RADIUS>

and its subclasses.

For more information about how proxied requests are waited for by Radiator, see Section 3.42. <AuthBy RADIUS> and Section 3.42.32. Synchronous.
