Free Radius Developers, Can someone point me to how to: 1) add a configuration value (the retry count allowed). 2) add a state value associated with a session (current retry count). The motivation is: When a windows xp box is authenticating against freeradius with patches to support retry and freeradius is configured to allow retry and the user enters a wrong username the user is presented with a balloon which has: ==== Wireless Network Connection -- Click here to process your login information for the network yyyy ==== The duologue window pops up with title "Re-enter Credentials" The User name entry shows the entered username grayed out The Password has dots for each letter entered The Domain is grayed out There is an Ok and Cancel button. The user cannot correct the wrong username. If they hit either Ok a new balloon pops up with the same info. If they hit cancel in a while (seems about 30 sec) a new balloon pops up. After about 2 minutes a different balloon pops up where they can enter their credentials of User name, password and login domain. If retry is not enabled no balloon which results in a "Re-enter Credentials" dialog box occurs - after a long while (over 2 minutes) a balloon pops up where the user can enter their User name, password and login domain. There seems to be a problem when retry is not enabled of getting the windows client to detect there is a problem and giving up in a quicker time frame. That issue aside I would like to implement a retry count so that if say a retry count of 3 the user would be presented with at most 3 "Re-enter Credentials" dialog box before having the client go into a different mode where it fails and then gives the user a chance to enter user name and password. TIA johnh...
