Hi, thank you very much, that worked.regarding the float as parameter, i should not have sent that as an example because it was wrong anyways as you very well mentionedthe function is not expecting a float .. lol ... thanks for the advise too! From: jpablolorenzetti@hotmail.com To: freeradius-users@lists.freeradius.org Subject: accessing subtypes (tlv) Date: Wed, 15 May 2013 19:55:56 +0000 Hi, i have downloaded and installed freeradius from git master FreeRADIUS Version 3.0.0 (git #7a9281c), i m developing a module to do some charging based on 3gpp2 standards for a cdma network, i have modified the dictionary to reflect a subtype in one of the attributes: ATTRIBUTE 3GPP2-Prepaid-acct-Capability 91 tlvATTRIBUTE 3GPP2-Prepaid-acct-Capability-AvailableInClient 91.1 integer but i m having trouble accesing 3GPP2-Prepaid-acct-Capability-AvailableInClient, basically i dont know how and i cant find an example in the code so far. when i do: ppac = pairfind(request->packet->vps,91.1,5535,TAG_ANY)orppac = pairfind(request->packet->vps,91,5535,TAG_ANY) they both return null. any hint will be appreciated as to how can i access the values in the subtypesof any tlv-type attribute. the other option is just put back the dictionary to octect type and access the values manuallybut i know this version of freeradius supports tlv so i would like to find a way to do it using freeradius capabilities. thanks!
