hi all, i am using freeradius 1.0.5 on sles 9. what i want to achieve: network devices send their mac-address to a switch, which then sends access-request packages to the freeradius. the mac-addresses are stored in an ldap tree using the objectclass "dhcpHost" and the entry "dhcpHWAddress" (which is also used for dhcp). unfortunately the attribute dhcpHWAddress contains entries like "ethernet 00:11:22:33:44:55" and not only the mac address. (how) can i use regexp to get the necessary information from ldap? i read variables.txt but seem to be misunderstanding the concept (sorry, i am not an english native speaker ..). do i have to enter something in the ldap section in 'filter="..."' radiusd.conf? could someone give me some examples? thanks in advance for any hints! best regards, markus -- Markus Krause email: krause@biochem.mpg.de Computing Center Tel.: 089 - 89 40 85 99 Group Lottspeich / Proteomics Fax.: 089 - 89 40 85 98 --------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using https://webmail.biochem.mpg.de If you encounter any problems please report to rz-linux@biochem.mpg.de
