I think this solution may work for me too(splitting the attribute); could you tell me how have you done this?because implicitly freeradius doesn't do the split; Do you have a patch for this?
No patch required, as you are just inserting vendor specific attributes and coding the logic behind the VSAs. Assuming you are using a VSA (which always requires a bit of client and server support), you can chunk up your data into individual attributes and insert them in order into the request. Server-side, simply reassemble - much like an EAP-Message.

It doesn't do that because there's no standard way to do it.
EAP-Message is at least an example - and why one can be assured that attributes maintain their ordering in the packet, no?
If you want to have longer attributes, you need to modify *both* the client and the server. In most cases, you can't modify the client (e.g. commercial equipment), so modifying the server is a waste of time.
What if you aren't using commercial equipment and _do_ have control over both client and server :) David
