i was thinking the NAS had something to do with it. is there any way i can get the NAS to send me the correct user name? we are using cisco aironet for access points running IOS 12.3. or is there any other way to get the correct user name into the table? thanks bz ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Fri, 02 Mar 2007 09:48:08 +0100 From: Alan DeKok <aland@deployingradius.com> Subject: Re: wrong user name is stored in mysql radacct table To: FreeRadius users mailing list <freeradius-users@lists.freeradius.org> Message-ID: <45E7E4C8.9030103@deployingradius.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Zeli Kartzman wrote:

we are running freeradius-1.0.5-1.2 and mysql-5.0.27-1.fc5 when i look at the radacct table in the mysql database i see there are a number of entries with a non-existent user. i.e. D4JM4P61\\Kimberly Higgins

That is the name sent in the outer TLS tunnel.

when i look at the radius.log file i see that the correct user name appears and then the wrong one. why is the wrong one being stored in the database?

Because that's the name the user is sending in order to login. It's not like FreeRADIUS invents random names, and logs them to SQL. Everything happens because of information the NAS sends in a packet.
