Greetings,

I am setting up/migrating to a new Radius server.  My current server is using flat files (users/clients).  Not a huge deployment, but now have designs to scale larger.  I've run into a problem with one reply attribute I can't seem to identify the problem.  I've searched the documentation (and Googled), and while probably in from of my eyes, I can't seem to find the cause/solution.  The same reply attributes work fine in my current/production server, but fail (and only when trying to include the "DragonWave-Privilege-Level" reply attribute).  Now one note, in my production server in my user stanza I use the "=" operator for each of the reply attributes.  However, in my new server, when using the "=" as the operator in the reply attribute I was receiving only one attribute upon authentication.  I then thought I understood from the documentation that I needed to use "+=" in my reply attributes.  After making that change, all the group attributes were returned.  One difference may be that I am specifying the "group" attributes under each "user" (current/production) vs in a "group" which is referenced (new server)?  I am in no way well versed in all the nuances of radius (but working that direction), so if I'm overlooking the obvious I would greatly appreciate a nudge in the right direction.

Thank you very much,

tony
