I am using freeradius-server-3.0.8.

I am trying to use the extended-vendor-sepcific-1 attribute as specified in RC6929.

That's good...

How can I indicate in my dictionary that the vendor must be according to the extended-vendor-specific format?

Hmm... the "man dictionary" documentation is wrong, unfortunately. I'll fix that. You should do something like: BEGIN-VENDOR FreeRADIUS format=Extended-Vendor-Specific-1 ATTRIBUTE FreeRADIUS-Blah-Blah 1 integer END-VENDOR FreeRADIUS

I added the following in a new dictionary file: VENDOR Alcatel-IPD-Ext-1 241.26.6527

That won't work.

BEGIN-VENDOR Alcatel-IPD-Ext-1 ATTRIBUTE Alc-Ext-TestAttr-1 1 integer END-VENDOR Alcatel-IPD-Ext-1

This gives no problems when starting the radius server, but the attribute is not sent in the extended-vendor-specific format but still in the old way VSA.

I'll poke the dictionary parser to make it more robust.

I found in the http://freeradius.org/radiusd/man/dictionary.txt that :

That's wrong. I've pushed a fix.

"You can also use "format=Extended-Vendor-Specific-1", through "format=Extended-Vendor-Specific-6". These define VSAs in the "extended vendor-specific" space"

but this gives errors : Errors reading dictionary: dict_init: /usr/local/share/freeradius/dictionary.alcatel.sr.ext[15]: Invalid format for VENDOR. Expected text like "1,1", got "Extended-Vendor-Specific-1"

Could you please help in how this should be done?
