What's the policy on adding attributes to VS dictionaries that are never sent over the wire?
Alan, Arran, What's the policy on adding vendor-specific attributes to vendor dictionaries for attributes that will never be sent over the wire, i.e. 'temporary' attributes for policies that will eventually be distributed? I currently have an attribute that I would like to add to 'our' (i.e. Janet's) dictionary that is just a processing flag. The reason I don't want to use one of the Tmp-* attributes is because they may be in use by other policies in the deployer's policies, so a specific attribute for this would suffice. If you "don't care", then great, but suggestions/recommendations are welcome :-) Thanks :-) Stefan Paetow Moonshot Industry & Research Liaison Coordinator t: +44 (0)1235 822 125 gpg: 0x3FCE5142 xmpp: stefanp@jabber.dev.ja.net skype: stefan.paetow.janet Janet, the UK’s research and education network.

The vendor attributes are for VSAs. Non-protocol attributes are owned by FreeRADIUS.

Send it over and we'll add it to the internal dictionaries. Alan DeKok.

Excellent. Shall do. It may then also be useful to other policies (like cui) that have a similar problem. :-) Stefan Paetow Moonshot Industry & Research Liaison Coordinator t: +44 (0)1235 822 125 gpg: 0x3FCE5142 xmpp: stefanp@jabber.dev.ja.net skype: stefan.paetow.janet Janet, the UK’s research and education network.

Hi Alan, I've created pull request https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/pull/820 for the policy (that sets the attribute). I thought it best not to assume and just create an attribute in dictionary.freeradius.internal. The attribute is called Use-Outer-Reply. If you want to dispense with the policy and set that attribute in code instead, feel free to reject the request. :-) Thanks very much :-) Stefan Paetow Moonshot Industry & Research Liaison Coordinator t: +44 (0)1235 822 125 gpg: 0x3FCE5142 xmpp: stefanp@jabber.dev.ja.net skype: stefan.paetow.janet Janet, the UK's research and education network.
