I also want to apologize if my tone seemed too attacking towards freeradius for such a novice that I am.
You're not attacking, you're worried about situations that haven't occured yet.
Now to the subject matter: let us imagine some not very distant future when digest authentication extension is finally standardized
We will address that situation when it happens. Until then, there isn't a lot of point in discussing this.
How would you resolve such situation ?
Very carefully.
I wanted (or, at least, I thought that I wanted) something a little bit different - not a new name for the same type, but a different type for the same name. E.g.: $ cat /usr/local/etc/raddb/dictionary ATTRIBUTE My-Local-String 300 string ATTRIBUTE My-Local-String 301 string
That's wrong. The server won't accept it. Think what it would mean if the server did accept it. You see My-Local-String in a log file. Which attribute is it? You don't know.
By "marked" I meant not a mere comment in a dictionary file, but some prefix to their name or something like that, e.g. "PreRFC-Digest-Response". But this is probably too intrusive to do now.
There is absolutely no reason to do that. Alan DeKok.
