<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=517553809-14042010> I'm in the
process of developing an embedded client based on the 1.1.6 client code. We have
a requirement for issuing a Status-Server request and I can see, as it stands,
the code doesn't work. The freeRADIUS server I am working with expects a
PW_MESSAGE_AUTHENTICATOR attribute. The function rc_check() in lib\buildreq.c
currently does not add the PW_MESSAGE_AUTHENTICATOR attribute. Searching for
PW_MESSAGE_AUTHENTICATOR in the server code, I found the following code in
src\module\rlm_eam\eap.c :</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=517553809-14042010> vp =
paircreate(PW_MESSAGE_AUTHENTICATOR,
PW_TYPE_OCTETS);<BR> memset(vp->vp_octets, 0,
AUTH_VECTOR_LEN);<BR> vp->length =
AUTH_VECTOR_LEN;<BR> pairadd(&(request->reply->vps),
vp);<BR></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=517553809-14042010>So, my questions
are:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=517553809-14042010>1. If the
Status-Server request is experimental, is it known whether (many) other
commercial RADIUS server products are supporting it?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=517553809-14042010>2. Are there
requirements and if so guidelines for creating meaningful authenticator values
rather than all zeroes as above?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=517553809-14042010>3. Are there any
plans to update the client code with support for the PW_MESSAGE_AUTHENTICATOR
attribute?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
