hi, what version is your server? often you will get or read suggestions that would be for the later version...or sometimes hideously old advice that only worked on a v2.x box! ;-) alan On Thu, 3 Jan 2019 at 14:37, Peter Steadman <psteadman@warwickshire.ac.uk> wrote:

I did find this post;

- in inner-tunnel, post-auth-type Reject, do:

This seems to work ok but when I try applying the second part;

And then in the “default” virtual server, post-auth section, you can use:

%{%{session-state:Module-Failure-Message}:-%{Module-Failure-Message}}

I just get the error "Missing attribute value" when trying to start the server which leads me to suspect that I am not putting this in right place or formatting it incorrectly. Could someone please give me an example of this "%{%{session-state:Module-Failure-Message}:-%{Module-Failure-Message}}" in the context of the post-auth section. many thanks Pete

OK...

- in inner-tunnel, post-auth-type Reject, do:

update outer.session-state { Module-Failure-Message := &request:Module-Failure-Message }

That copies the inner Module-Failure-Message attribute to the outer session-state list.

%{%{session-state:Module-Failure-Message}:-%{Module-Failure-Message}}

You can't just put random strings into the config and expect them to work.

Could someone please give me an example of this "%{%{session-state:Module-Failure-Message}:-%{Module-Failure-Message}}" in the context of the post-auth section.

You can't put a string expansion into the post-auth section. You MUST assign the string expansion to an attribute, OR just use the string expansion in an existing string... i.e. edit the linelog module config. You will see that the "messages" section contain string expansions like %{User-Name}. You can then put the Module-Failure-Message expansion there. And please also read "man unlang" to see the format of the configuration files, and how the string expansions work. This is all documented. Alan DEKok.
