# radcli\_dae\_new(3)

Validate dae-\* configuration and build a dynamic-authorization listener. Opens no socket see radcli\_dae\_start().

## NAME

radcli\_dae\_new - Validate dae-\* configuration and build a dynamic-authorization listener. Opens no socket  see radcli\_dae\_start().

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <radcli/>

radcli_dae * radcli_dae_new(
    radcli_ctx  *ctx,
    unsigned     flags
);
```

## DESCRIPTION

Fails (returns NULL) unless dae-accept is "yes" or "udp", so that a library upgrade never silently exposes a session-terminating channel in an application that did not opt in. When enabled, also fails unless both dae-server and dae-secret are set, and unless every dae-server entry resolves and carries no network prefix.

At most one radcli\_dae may be active on a given ctx at a time, since radcli\_ctx\_get\_poll()/radcli\_ctx\_dispatch() operate on ctx and need a single descriptor to report.

## PARAMETERS

- **ctx**

  a configured context (rc\_read\_config()/rc\_apply\_config() already called).

- **flags**

  a bitwise OR of radcli\_dae\_flags, or 0 for the common case.

## RETURN VALUE

a new listener, or NULL on invalid configuration or an unknown flags bit.
