This chapter introduces the key concepts of Steel-Belted Radius Carrier scripting. It provides examples of how you can use scripting to extend the capabilities of the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier server. This chapter contains these topics:

Incorporating scripts into your Steel-Belted Radius Carrier configuration enables you to fine-tune the behavior of the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier server and implement custom request processing logic. You can use scripts to configure Steel-Belted Radius Carrier to evaluate complex decision logic and manipulate RADIUS request data objects in ways that cannot be expressed through settings in the standard Steel-Belted Radius Carrier initialization files.

Steel-Belted Radius Carrier scripts are written in JavaScript, an easy-to-use, industry standard scripting language with a powerful, object-based syntax.
