Is it possible ? is it a configuration of the server or a request from the client ? thanks for your helpHi Ariel, Can you give us a bit more information about how you're using freeradius? From your description, it looks vaguely like you're using pam_radius to authenticate logins against a freeradius server - is that it?Hi, in fact, the authentication is done with the file /etc/shadow (NIS users but doesn't matter I think) my requests are done with a web interface (php => php-radius) to authenticate users (and this works well). Hope it's enough ...
You're trying to use radius for something it's not really intended for. You'd be better off querying that information from a real directory service, like LDAP, or NIS, if you want it quicker and nastier.
