Hi list,

Just wondering if there is a way to enable the Perl module to work without changing the users files as described here http://wiki.freeradius.org/modules/Rlm_perl.

This page describe that to enable the Perl module the users file needs to be changed by adding the following line:

DEFAULT  Auth-Type = Perl
    Fall-Through = yes

In many places (http://wiki.freeradius.org/config/Auth%20Type) I'm reading that it is not a good idea to intervene by setting the Auth-Type manually, but still on the wiki page of rlm_perl this is being described as the way to enable the Perl module to work.

Until now I've been using the Perl module alone to authenticate/authorize and changing the users file works great. But now I need to combine EAP/SIM module with Perl module. So when the message contains EAP/SIM attributes it needs to authenticate using EAP module, else it needs to fallback to the Perl one. 

With the users script changed as described on the perl_module page the EAP module won't work and if I don't change the users it will use EAP/SIM module, but Perl module will fail. So intervening here looks like is causing modules not to work properly

Which strategy needs one to follow when using the Perl script in combination with EAP/SIM. Just want to be sure that I'm using the proper way to enable the Perl module, without intervening in the Auth-Type.

Thanks you for your time. If you need me to add the default and the users file, just let me know.
