<p class=MsoNormal>Small observation on the backwards compatibility of regex
handling.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My existing config has the following line within the sites
authorised section;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If ( User-Name =~ /(.*)\/(.*)<a href="file:///\\%5e(.*)\i">\\^(.*)/i</a>
) {<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Yes this is nasty, but required to handle a specific format
and worked under 3.0.x up to 3.0.5. Under 3.0.5 with correct_escapes set to
false this is now generating an error of “Unexpected test after condition”
on the second ‘(‘. I am presuming the ‘\/’ is being
seen as the end of the regex within the parser.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Setting correct_escapes to true, and changing the regex to
/(.*)\/(.*)<a href="file:///\\%5e(.*)\i">\^(.*)/i</a> works. I am not
convinced this is worth fixing, after I think everyone would agree the regex
reads better now. However, it maybe worth extending the radius.conf comment
around correct_escapes to include this edge case.<o:p></o:p></p>
