Hello Sir, But the issue is you have written the Chinese charter directly in place of user name rather than writing its equivalent UTF-8 into users file as said by you. users: "現年快樂" Auth-Type := Accept My doubt is How can I write UTF-8 encoded (may be HEX form) in users file. Because I have did the same in place of Chinese I have written the hex equivalent of ∞ infinity symbol which is also a multilingual character in place of username and sent the request containing hex equivalent of UTF-8 of ∞ infinity symbol. Kindly correct me If i am wrong. -Karnik jain On Fri, Feb 4, 2011 at 10:25 PM, James J J Hooper <jjj.hooper@bristol.ac.uk>wrote:

Hi Alan,
I have written multilingual character *∞ *directly in RADIUS server's *users file.* without encoding it into UTF-8. * * Do I need to write Username in *user file of RADIUS server *after converting it into UTF-8 to make the *whole thing work*?
If Yes then How can I write UTF-8 characters into *users file of RADIUS server.*
Do I need to write directly the *HEX of encoded characters* or some other way into the *users file of RADIUS server as shown in attached users file of RADIUS server*? * * I have double check that the UTF-8 Encoder of mine is working fine. Multilingual character = ∞ (infinity symbol) is having equivalent form in HEX = *0xe2889e* and UTF-8 encoding of *0xe2889e* is = *0xf8 0xb8 0xa2 0x9e.*
*Can any one please look into to above issue * *and guide me How can I configure the files of free RADIUS server * *to use USER-NAME field other than **US-ASCII like * *Chinese etc.?* * * *Regards,* *Karnik jain*
Hi Karnik, If you put UTF in the users file and UTF in the User-Name in the radius request it will work. For example:
users: "現年快樂" Auth-Type := Accept
...and then testing it:
echo 'User-Name = "現年快樂"' | radclient -x 137.222.253.91:16010 auth SECRET Sending Access-Request of id 161 to 137.222.253.91 port 16010 User-Name = "現年快樂" rad_recv: Access-Accept packet from host 137.222.253.91 port 16010, id=161, length=20
