RE: testing which client initiated request ? Client-shortname ... FreeRADIUS-Client-Shortname

29 Mar 2011

      The  "Use Packet-Src-IP-Address" does appear to work..

 However, I would really like to have a "set" of clients behave the same way.

 I would really like to do something like:

     client 1.2.3.4 {
          secret XXXXXX
          shortname  mgmtStation

          Identical-client  1.2.3.5, 1.2.3.6, 1.2.3,7 
     }

   Then later on simply test on shortname mgmtStation  ?

  If there is nothing like "Identical-client"... I did notice while debugging that
doing something like:

    client 1.2.3.4 {
        secret XXXXXX
        shortname stMgt
    }

    client 1.2.3.5 {
        secret XXXXXX
        shortname stMgt
    }

 Assigning two different IP number clients the same shortname ? I noticed that when I looked at 
some logs, the shortname was used in the log text for BOTH clients.. This could
be exploited for what I want, if only the testing client based on shortname worked ?

Thanks,

Robert

Still does not seem to be working.. Still looks like
its expanding to "nothing" ?

++? if ("%{client: shortname}" == WCSmgmt )
        expand: %{client: shortname} ->
? Evaluating ("%{client: shortname}" == WCSmgmt ) -> FALSE
++? if ("%{client: shortname}" == WCSmgmt ) -> FALSE
 }

Yet in clients.conf:

client 155.97.142.192 {
        secret          = doesntmatter
        shortname       = WCSmgmt
}

The request does seem to be coming from the correct client ?

rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 155.97.142.192 port 55567, id=0, length=124

Thanks,

Robert

I'd like to test and see which particular client was responsible for a request.
I found two attributes Client-Shortname  and FreeRADIUS-Client-Shortname, but
when I try and use this in unlang they do not seem to have values ? Any suggestions...
Use Packet-Src-IP-Address

  Or, %{client: shortname}, if it's configured in clients.conf.
