Hi, I have some problems with radius. I want to log the Value (an integer) in my Vendor-Specific attribute to a mysql database. I use %'{Vendor-Specific}' as variable to write it to the database but it always writes 0x25ce0000010630390000 to the database instead of the Value. At the system where you have to authenticate I put the following variables into the radiuspacket: Vendor-Id = 9678 --> is registered at http://beta.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers Vendor-Type<http://beta.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers%0AVendor-Type> = 1 Vendor-Length = 6 Vendor-Value = 12345 When I use radsniff at the radius server, I can see: Packet number 1 has just been sniffed From: 10.0.2.1:55822 To: 10.0.2.2:1813 Type: Accounting-Request Acct-Status-Type = Interim-Update NAS-Port = 167772161 Service-Type = Framed-User Framed-IP-Address = 10.0.0.1 Acct-Input-Octets = 4249838 Acct-Output-Octets = 4056840 Acct-Input-Packets = 5326 Acct-Output-Packets = 2655 NAS-Identifier = "bcrouter" Acct-Session-Id = "167772161" User-Name = "stage/stage" ------>Vendor-Specific = 0x25ce0000010630390000<------ Packet number 2 has just been sniffed From: 10.0.2.2:1813 To: 10.0.2.1:55822 Type: Accounting-Response If you disassamble 0x25ce0000010630390000: (25ce)16 -> (9678)10 (00 0001)16 -> (1)10 (06)16 -> (6)10 30390000 -> (0000 3039)16 -> (12345)10 So this seems to be right. Somewhere it's logic that if you use %'{Vendor-Specific}' as variable in the query, that you will store 0x25ce0000010630390000. But how am I able to store 12345 into the database? I also tried to use %'{KULeuven-Test}' and just %'{Test}', but those variables are just empty... This is my dictionary: VENDOR KULeuven 9678 BEGIN-VENDOR KULeuven ATTRIBUTE KULeuven-Test 1 integer VALUE KULeuven-Test Test 12345 END-VENDOR KULeuven Thank you in advance, -- Jeroen Vanderauwera
