HI all, I have a Radius client (not generic but proprietary) that encodes its vendor-type on *2* octets while the "normal and common" way is to encode the vendor-type on 1 octet (0-255). RFC 2865 says that the actual "vendor-type + length + value" is a string field and : "The String field is one or more octets. The actual format of the information is site or application specific, and a robust implementation SHOULD support the field as undistinguished octets. The codification of the range of allowed usage of this field is outside the scope of this specification." O'Reilley Radius book however says page 28: "vendor type - the vendor type field, which is one octet in length, etc". And the consequent questions: - Is there an RFC that actually defines for good the length of the vendor-type? (I did not manage to find that piece of information) - can Freeradius encode a vendor-type on 2 octets for 1 specific vendor while replying to the client? - if so (I doubt...), how? (configuration? Special dictionary format?) Many thks. David.
