RE: HEX Stripping using attr_rewrite

4 Jun 2014

...
A way that doesn't rely on FR being \0 safe is to do something like:
if ("%{hex:ADSL-Agent-Remote-Id}" =~ /^....([0-9a-f]+)$/) {
  update request {
      Tmp-Octets-0 := "0x%{1}"
  }
  update request {
      ADSL-Agent-Remote-ID := "%{string:Tmp-Octets-0}"
  }
}
But that's pretty nasty.
Hi Aaran

Thank you for that. You are right, it does look nasty :)

I must have missed a step somewhere, as I am seeing this in the debug when using your ulang code.

++++++? if ("%{hex:ADSL-Agent-Remote-Id}" =~ /^....([0-9a-f]+)$/)
WARNING: Unknown module "hex" in string expansion "%"

There doesn't seem to be a hex loadable module.

I am using freeradius 2.1.8

Cheers.
Simon
