Hi, I'm new to free radius. I'm trying to assign a new string attribute for a user, but the radius server is not coming up. Can someone help me in defining new string Attribute in freeradius. I have added a new attribute Foundry-INM-Role-AOR-List as string in dictionary and I'm trying to set this attribute for a user. With the below configuration radius server is not coming up. Any help in resolving this issue will be greatly appreciated. My changes are In users =-======== "ila" User-Password := "ila123" Foundry-INM-Privilege:= 4, Foundry-INM-Role-AOR-List := "InmRoles=Fremont ; InmAORs=AOR1" In dictionary.foundry =-============== ATTRIBUTE Foundry-INM-Role-AOR-List 9 string When I start the server, it gives the below message. /etc/raddb/users[107]: Parse error (reply) for entry ila: Invalid octet string "InmRoles=Fremont ; InmAORs=AOR1" for attribute name "Foundry-INM-Role-AOR-List" Errors reading /etc/raddb/users /etc/raddb/modules/files[7]: Instantiation failed for module "files" /etc/raddb/sites-enabled/inner-tunnel[111]: Failed to find module "files". /etc/raddb/sites-enabled/inner-tunnel[34]: Errors parsing authorize section. } With integer attribute alone the radius server is coming up fine. Thanks, Ila.
