Hi folks, same david Bell, different email address :) Well I now have RADIUS and Cisco working pretty much as I want. However it seems to be passing the AVPair stuff back, but the Cisco doesnt seem to recognise it. Where have I gone wrong. My Users file has the following DEFAULT Ldap-Group == "SMC7", Auth-Type := Accept Reply-Message = "You now have level 7 access as part of the SMC Group\n", cisco-avpair = "shell:priv-lvl=7" When I log in I see freeRADIUS reply with the relevent parts ++[ldap] returns ok ++[expiration] returns noop ++[logintime] returns noop rlm_pap: Found existing Auth-Type, not changing it. ++[pap] returns noop rad_check_password: Found Auth-Type Accept rad_check_password: Auth-Type = Accept, accepting the user Login OK: [bob/pass1] (from client 212.95.252.0/24 port 0) Sending Access-Accept of id 10 to 212.95.252.25 port 39111 Reply-Message = "You now have level 7 access as part of the SMC Group\n" Cisco-AVPair = "shell:priv-lvl=7" Finished request 0. Going to the next request Waking up in 0.9 seconds. Waking up in 4.0 seconds. Cleaning up request 0 ID 10 with timestamp +7 Ready to process requests.
