Hi, I'm using the RFC5580 attribute Operator-Name (126, string). I can add it to a request in pre-proxy in another instance of FreeRADIUS just fine. When it hits my home server, it is in the packet, tcpdump below: 10:10:30.740209 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 62, id 59188, offset 0, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 301) radius-1.restena.lu.tdp-suite > eomund.restena.lu..radius: [udp sum ok] RADIUS, length: 273 Access Request (1), id: 0x49, Authenticator: 8bd04809586e7b658c1a8d87ac2fd9a3 Username Attribute (1), length: 32, Value: availability-test@education.lu 0x0000: 6176 6169 6c61 6269 6c69 7479 2d74 6573 0x0010: 7440 6564 7563 6174 696f 6e2e 6c75 NAS IP Address Attribute (4), length: 6, Value: localhost 0x0000: 7f00 0001 Calling Station Attribute (31), length: 19, Value: 70-6F-6C-69-73-68 0x0000: 3730 2d36 462d 3643 2d36 392d 3733 2d36 0x0010: 38 Framed MTU Attribute (12), length: 6, Value: 1400 0x0000: 0000 0578 NAS Port Type Attribute (61), length: 6, Value: Wireless - IEEE 802.11 0x0000: 0000 0013 Connect Info Attribute (77), length: 27, Value: rad_eap_test + eapol_test 0x0000: 7261 645f 6561 705f 7465 7374 202b 2065 0x0010: 6170 6f6c 5f74 6573 74 EAP Message Attribute (79), length: 82, Value: .. 0x0000: 0209 0050 1900 1703 0100 20c9 44f9 b283 0x0010: 8415 96a8 aa08 f2ed 9842 19ae 1eb0 a3d4 0x0020: 1229 06fd fa3d c7cc 7d51 9117 0301 0020 0x0030: 42e8 5df5 0f82 6a70 dd6f 8004 00db d140 0x0040: 652c 9a27 2feb 3753 7c42 4128 01a5 e19a State Attribute (24), length: 18, Value: .zD!.s]Qx.|..6.. 0x0000: 907a 4421 9873 5d51 7813 7c13 0a36 d29b Message Authentication Attribute (80), length: 18, Value: ...nQ..V..�e..>. 0x0000: 0ebc 136e 51e4 f656 0e9d 8065 bbd7 3e02 Vendor Specific Attribute (26), length: 18, Value: Vendor: Unknown (23735) Vendor Attribute: 2, Length: 10, Value: eduroam-lu 0x0000: 0000 5cb7 020c 6564 7572 6f61 6d2d 6c75 Proxy State Attribute (33), length: 5, Value: 124 0x0000: 3132 34 Unassigned Attribute (89), length: 3, Value: 0x0000: 00 Unknown Attribute (126), length: 13, Value: 0x0000: 3172 6573 7465 6e61 2e6c 75 But my auth_log stanza logs most of the packet content, but *not* the Operator-Name attribute. Same for the -X output in rad_recv. Then again, it can be processed by the server, because I use it in a xlat later: expand: %{config:cui_hash_key}%{request:User-Name}%{outer.request:Operator-Name} -> stefan.winter@education.lu0x3172657374656e612e6c75 expand: %{md5:%{config:cui_hash_key}%{request:User-Name}%{outer.request:Operator-Name}} -> c1cc0e5a16f04777a9b15a85c2738f21 +++++[outer.reply] returns noop (I know, the tcpdump doesn't correspond to *this* xlat, captured at different times, but the behaviour is consistent and reproducible) As you can see, the string content which was in tcpdump is also expanded in xlat. But somewhat strangely... 126 is defined as string in dictionary.rfc5580; so xlat should decode it to "1restena.lu". Instead it displays the hexdump. I wonder if there is something "special" about 126 - maybe because it was previously assigned/hijacked by Ascend?
