How do I validate a user by mac address so that the users mac would be their username?
What is the format of the MAC in the 'users' file? I have seen it as 01020304-0a020304 or something similiar, is that correct?
The format is whatever format the NAS sends in the User-Name attribute.
Thanks Alan, that helped more than you know. This is what I am trying to do, I have a user in my users file, before they are allowed to authenticate I want to also check that the MAC address sent in the Calling-Station-Id matches what is in the users file. So I would check not only for the username/passowrd but also that the MAC was the same for that user. Is checkval what I am looking for or is there a certain syntax for the users file that I am missing? I have read the /doc/processing_users_file, man 5 users and been going through the config files in the /etc/raddb. directory, with no success. Thanks again, Jon
