Re: Support of Tag 0x00 for Tunnel-Server-Endpoint

Hi,

I'm using free radius 2.1.9 as a client to connect to a distant server (not freeradius). We are facing a problem for Tunnel-Server-Endpoint attribute :

RFC http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2868.txt indicates for Tunnel-Server-Endpoint : ... So, there is no explicit prohibition of use of 0x00 as a Tag value.

Yup. But who bothers reading the specs? <sigh>

What we see in freeradius is that this values makes as ignore the value of the atrtribute.

What does that mean?

Is there some other RFCs that show explicitely that the 0x00 tag should lead to this behavior ? Is it a freeradius bug ? Any help about where is it managed in the code ?

The tag 0x00 could be treated as "no tag". The server does this when sending packets. Alan DeKok.
