Hi,
I came across an attribute called "Profile-Name", with an encoding of 1039 (string), from an old Merit RADIUS dictionary.
This means it's *not* a RADIUS attribute. i.e. it can't ever go into a RADIUS packet.
I see this isn't defined in the v2.2 FreeRADIUS internal dictionary, though there is a gap in the numbering where it would be. If I understand it correctly, it looks like one could have a "profiles" file with individual named profiles defined containing NAS-specific text that would be sent back to the NAS as is upon successful authentication. Is anything like this still supported? Can the "User-Profile" attribute be used in a similar way?
I'm not sure what Merit meant by "profiles". So no, FreeRADIUS doesn't do that. There are FreeRADIUS ways of defining profiles. You *can* do NAS-specific rules. See recent messages on this list. Alan DeKok.
