String expansion of attributes value from database

[Krzysztof Grobelak]

Hello Arran,

Thanks for the response.

Could you explain a little bit more how to use this feature?
I’m unclear how to apply this to the value returned from db. I suspect i need to do it in post-auth section.

I know that I can do the following:

post-auth {
	update reply { 
		 Alc-Subsc-ID-Str := "%{Alc-Client-Hardware-Addr}”
	}
}

And this works but this will update all the reply packet for all successful authentication responses. And i would like to be able to do this per profile.

Like so:
<pseudo unlang>

post-auth {
	if (sql:groupname == “profile_1”){ <—"just finding out this would be veery helpful" 
		update reply { 
			Alc-Subsc-ID-Str := “%{xlat: profile_1.attribute_1}”
		}
	}
}

</pseudo unlang>

I hope the above illustrates what i’m trying to achieve.

Actually just being able to check the returned groupname (profile) would get me out of trouble.

Would love to but i’m afraid the complexity of the server is slightly beyond my skill level :/
