I am using FreeRADIUS Version 3.0.17 running on apline linux. I am trying to setup some variable under virtual server sections that are referenced at multiple points in the virtual server. Essentially trying to make editing of the configuration easier and adding more virtual server easier
Virtual server config is:
Butchered to the point of illegibility.
*server tenant1 {sql_instance_name = tenant1sql_db = "${sql[${.sql_instance_name}].radius_db}"authorize {chap"${..sql_instance_name}"pap}}*
What the heck is that? Please post *clear* text. When you make it hard for people to hep you, they're inclined to not help you. From what can see, you're trying to put module configuration into a virtual server. You can't do that. Please don't invent new configuration that isn't supported by the server.
I followed the documentation: https://networkradius.com/doc/3.0.10/raddb/syntax/config_reference.html
The documentation describes what the server does. You're doing something else. So you've taken the syntax, and tried to do something which *isn't* documented. As perhaps can be expected, it doesn't work.
I am getting this error:
freeradius_1 | FreeRADIUS Version 3.0.17
There's no need to add useless prefixes to every log line. Just post the debug output as the server produces it.
Seems like variable is not able to expand in the authorize section.
Exactly. You can't just put module configuration into a virtual server and expect it to magically work.
If i dont use variable reference in authorize section and not use nested variable reference for *sql_db* then all is working fine.
Yes. If you use it as documented, it works.
Could someone please point me in the right direction as to how i can use nested variable reference and variable expansion under authorize section of virtual server?
You can't. Perhaps you could explain what goal you're trying to reach. Right now, you're asking how to implement a particular solution. But your entire solution is wrong, because you're doing the wrong things. So what problem are you having? Describe it in high-level terms, using simple English. *Not* via wrong configuration pieces which you think might work. Alan DeKok.
