Hi Folks,<div><br></div><div>Trying to look at the problem in another way.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>I am inclined to think that I may have to write a module to &quot;parse&quot; the octet string and populate the attributes into the AVP list. Assuming that this is feasible, I would like to parse before the logging happens (via the &quot;detail&quot; module).</div>
<div><br></div><div>To this end, wondering how to order the execution of modules - is this dictated via the order of entries in the&nbsp;</div><div>accounting {} part of the radiusd.conf file?</div><div><br></div><div>Any insight into the questions /issues below will also be very helpful.</div>
