Hi.<br><br><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">> WHY was it done like that, i.e. that you HAVE to use a username in sql?<br>
I am no developer but my guess would be because you have just allowed<br>everyone in the world in as long as they know you have a password <br></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
correct.</blockquote><div><br>That was just an example by me, you can tell the sql module (sql.conf) to look for virtually every attribute in an access-request.<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
You can't config the cisco switch to send the mac as the user?<br>That would be the normal behavior.</blockquote><div><br>I told Cisco that too. I'm in contact with them, for this task. <br><br>Nortel for example sends the MAC as username/password, no problem with that.
<br> </div></div><br>I'd just like to know, if I can use safely my own compiled version (zero length username on sql allowed), or if I run into problems afterwards, maybe for accounting etc. <br>That's why I was asking the developpers here directly. I mean, they must have had a reason to NOT allow that on sql, while the "normal" authentication via users file allows that.
<br><br>Thanks again!<br><br>Bye.<br>
