Hello all, I have freeradias 1.0.5 installed with the rlm_perl module, and the trouble I'm having is that the user-name attribute is an empty string within the 'authenticate' routine I have for the perl script. My goal is to have the perl script handle the authentication, so this is obviously a problem. I'm guessing I have something misconfigured. Freeradius *definitely* runs the perl script, as you'll see from the debug info below. I have the perl script explicitely checking for an empty user-name string, and rejecting on that situation. Any hints would be much appreciated! In the .conf file, I have the following relevant sections: modules { perl{ module = /home/goose/radperl.pl func_authenticate = authenticate func_authorize = authorize } ... authorize { perl ... authenticate { perl And here is the debug from radiusd: rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 127.0.0.1:33480, id=31, length=55 User-Name = "gus" User-Password = "123" NAS-IP-Address = 255.255.255.255 NAS-Port = 0 Processing the authorize section of radiusd.conf modcall: entering group authorize for request 0 perl_pool: item 0x9d35538 asigned new request.
