Dear all, Could someone tell me where is the location of the Radius attributes in the freeradius? The attributes are used, when the NAS connect with the server. But after seeing the file that come in freeradius, what I can only see are modules and dictionary. The attributes are listed in the dictionary, but where is the actual location of the source code? I use Linux as my NAS. I want to extend some attributes. Really apreciate your guidance since I don't know where to search again. Many thanks Santy --

Huh? What the heck do you mean by that? Alan DeKok.

I think he is wondering where they are hard coded, which they aren't. The answer is in the dictionary files, and the top level dictionary that imports all the vendor dictionary files. I am not sure which source files have the code which parses the ASN.1 specifcations.

None that I'm aware. FreeRADIUS doesn't use ASN.1.
Maybe OpenSSL does, but that code would be in OpenSSL.
Oops, sorry for the misinformation, for some reason I had thought the format of the dictionary files was a subset of the ASN.1 spec format. Some of the type definitions are similar. Getting my wires crossed with SNMP MIBs maybe.

I think I was totally lost when I ask the question to the mailing list. And I was misunderstood about how the freeradius works. But now everything is clearer. I thought that when we want to extend the attributes functionality, we write the code in each of the attributes. That is why i ask where is the code located. :-) Thank you so much for answering my question and sorry for it. santy
