Hey guys,

So I finally started configuring this MAC auth bypass thing... I am editing the raddb/policy.conf to include the "rewrite_calling_station_id" function/module however when I am trying to run the radiusd –X I got this error:

"/etc/raddb/policy.conf[72]: Parse error in condition at: request:Calling-Station-Id =~ /00-A0-08-([0-9A-F]{2})-([[0-9A-F]{2})-([[0-9A-F]{2})/i)" error

Here is what I added in the policy.conf. I appended to the back of the file. I never changed anything else in this file.

        rewrite_calling_station_id {

                if(request:Calling-Station-Id =~ /00-A0-08-([0-9A-F]{2})-([[0-9A-F]{2})-([[0-9A-F]{2})/i)

                {

                        update request {

                                Calling-Station-Id := "%{1}-%{2}-%{3}-%{4}-%{5}-%{6}"

                        }

                }

                else

                {

                        noop

                }

        }

My Calling-Station-Id is MAC addresses which are made of numbers and capital letters and - between octets. However my User-Name is all lower case letters and numbers and there is no – or :. I want to rewrite the calling station id to be the same as the User-Name. Am I doing it right? How can I convert it to lower cases or do I need to do it at all??

PS the MAC addresses will all start with 00-A0-08.

Thank you and merry Christmas!!
