Dear Friends,

As suggested I went through the code of freeradius thoroughly and developed a reasonable understanding of the same. Now I want to do a practical exercise:

Using radclient I want to create and send a dummy request to user module in order to take it's statistics.

I would like to store username & password in a file.

Please tell me what all steps do I have to perform in order to test the above scenario. Meaning which all files do I have to modify and how to perform the testing.

Thanks in advance.

Sonu

Good luck. As Alan said, if you have a specific need to modify the code then tell us
what it is and we can advise you on the best way to achieve what you want.

> One question that I have is how AVPs (Attribute Value Pairs) are stored in memory in freeradius.

http://doc.freeradius.org/libradius_8h.html#structVALUE__PAIR

They're stored in the above structure, and alloced on the heap at run time.

They're parented from either the REQUEST struct, or from a RADIUS_PACKET struct
to ensure they're cleaned up when the REQUEST is freed.

Fixed length values are stored in the value_data_t union, octets, text and tlv
attributes have dynamically allocated buffers parented off the VALUE_PAIR.
These buffers are pointed to by the value_data_t union.

VALUE_PAIRs are always allocated with pairalloc, and are freed using talloc_free
or pairfree (if you need to free a linked list of AVPs).

The vendor, number and type of attributes are in the DICT_ATTR struct. These are
usually allocated on startup when reading the config and dictionaries. The da
field of the VALUE_PAIR struct points to a DICT_ATTR struct.

VALUE_PAIR (text, octets, tlv) buffers should be considered immutable. If a new
value needs to be assigned, the old buffer is freed and a new one allocated.

talloc_free performs all necessary cleanup for VALUE_PAIRs.
