Variable passing question between modules

1 Nov 2019

      Hey all,

I have been trying for a week and I have everything working on a setup I am doing except for one thing.  Setting Tmp-String-0 to a string and using that string in the LDAP module.

I'm trying to make the config as simple as possible so if I am doing something wrong, please let me know.

I have the following in my authorize section:

authorize {
        if (User-Name =~ /@ulm\.edu$$/i){
                update request {
                        Tmp-String-0 = "Employees"
                }
                preprocess
                mschap
                eap {
                        ok = return
                }
                ldap
        }
        if (User-Name =~ /@warhawks\.ulm\.edu$$/i) {
                update request {
                        Tmp-String-0 = "Students"

                }
                preprocess
                mschap
                eap {
                        ok = return
                }
                ldap
        }
}

Basically if the login is XXX@ulm.edu<mailto:XXX@ulm.edu> set TMP-String-0 to "Employees" or if XXX@warhawks.ulm.edu<mailto:XXX@warhawks.ulm.edu> set to "Students"

I then have the following in my ldap config:

        base_dn = 'ou=%{request:Tmp-String-0},ou=People,dc=ulm,dc=edu'

The problem is ${request:Tmp-String-0} is always null and I get this in debug:

(6) ldap: EXPAND ou=%{request:Tmp-String-0},ou=People,dc=ulm,dc=edu
(6) ldap:    --> ou=,ou=People,dc=ulm,dc=edu
(6) ldap: Performing search in "ou=,ou=People,dc=ulm,dc=edu" with filter "(uid=pp)", scope "sub"

I went to verify that it was actually setting the variable and see this:

(6)       update request {
(6)         Tmp-String-0 = "Students"
(6)       } # update request = noop

I have tried every different way I can think of and it just will not set Tmp-String-0.  I have tried both = and := as well.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
