Not speaking to any FreeRADIUS issues but just to the regular expression, you typically need to escape the period, dash, and other special characters within the pattern if you are looking to match them. For example ^email:([a-z0-9\._\-]+@[a-z0-9\.\-]+\.[a-z]{2,4}) There are a number of regex test tools on the web as well as tools you can download and install. I would suggest that you start with those and make sure the pattern is working first and then try to implement it in FreeRADIUS. Jim Lohiser Imagine Net, inc.

Hi All,
Got a regex thing I can’t explain, but it may of course be down to my inexperience with regexs generally. Please forgive the non-ideal email address regex, it’s not great, but not really my focus here at this point, I aim to improve it. For now it’s as simple as I can make it, having paired it down to hopefully find the problem.
We’re using a captive portal which only allows pass-through of a username and password as user “fields”. The system uses voucher auth, so we don’t actually use the password field for a password, rather using it to capture email address, browser agent, version and OS details from the client’s browser.
This is a via the user-password string in the format field:<string> field2:<string> - fields, with the string following a colon, separated by spaces.
e.g.
email:my.email@address.com browseragent:safari version:7 os:ios5
The string is passed through a few regexes, each picking off the field string in a capture group. It’s failing on the first, the email regex being pretty simple:
^email:([a-z0-9._-]+@[a-z0-9.-]+\.[a-z]{2,4})
I’ve tried various delimiters but all result in the same issue:
email:my.email@address.com,browseragent:safari,version:7,os:ios5
email:my.email@address.com#browseragent:safari#version:7#os:ios5
I’ve also tried compiling with and without libpcre3-dev, same - the regex is not stopping at the space or , or #, whatever delimiter I choose. The non email regexes seem to work ok..
Code : (in policy.d folder)
email_regexp= "^email:([a-z0-9._-]+@[a-z0-9.-]+\\.[a-z]{2,4})"
if ("%{User-Password}" =~ /${policy.email_regexp}/){
update control {
Email-Address := "%{1}"
}
}
Result:

(0) update control {
(0) expand: "%{1}" -> 'ios5'
(0) Browser-OS := "ios5"
I also tried a different regex, but the problems seem worse there..
? if ("%{User-Password}" =~ /^email:([a-z0-9_-]+(\.[a-z0-9_-]+)*@[a-z0-9_-]+(\.[a-z0-9_-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,4}))/)
(1) expand: "%{User-Password}" -> 'email:my.email@address.com browseragent:safari version:7 os:ios5'
(1) ? if ("%{User-Password}" =~ /^email:([a-z0-9_-]+(\.[a-z0-9_-]+)*@[a-z0-9_-]+(\.[a-z0-9_-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,4}))/) -> TRUE
(1) if ("%{User-Password}" =~ /^email:([a-z0-9_-]+(\.[a-z0-9_-]+)*@[a-z0-9_-]+(\.[a-z0-9_-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,4}))/) {
(1) update control {
(1) expand: "%{1}" -> 'my.email@address.com browseragent:safari version:7 os:ios'
(1) Email-Address := "my.email@address.com browseragent:safari version:7 os:ios"
(1) } # update control = noop
Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks
