Sort of. AFAIK nothing else sets Autz-Type. But quite a few modules set Auth-Type based on the incoming requests e.g. the "mschap" modules sets Auth-Type=MS-CHAP if the mschap attributes are in the request. Ditto the "chap" and "eap" modules. "pap" is a bit more complex and has changed in CVS head.
Generally, you should not set Auth-Type in the users file. It's a sign you're doing something wrong. Perhaps if you told us what you're trying to do?
I've been wondering about this, in relation to the rlm_perl module. We see "Don't set Auth-Type in the users file" all over the place, but with rlm_perl, the %RAD_CHECK hash is read-only. So if I'm using perl for authorization, I *have to* set the Auth-Type in the users file.
This isn't really a problem (since it all works the way I want), but it seems inconsistent, especially considering that other modules can modify the request or check items. So, why were %RAD_CHECK and %RAD_REQUEST made read-only?
Because perl hashes are not ordered. -- Best Regards, Boian Jordanov SNE Orbitel - Next Generation Telecom tel. +359 2 4004 723 tel. +359 2 4004 002
