You should not edit the main dictionary file. You should create this as a separate file (called dictionary.colubris) with all the other dictionary.foo files (normally in /usr/local/share/freeradius/). Then look in the file called dictionary in the same directory and make sure (as it says in the comments at the top of the file you've sent) to put the line $INCLUDE dictionary.colubris NOTE: There is already a dictionary.colubris file in my installation of FreeRADIUS 1.0.4. However, it doesn't have the second attribute. If you also have that file, you could simply edit it and insert the second line beginning with "ATTRIBUTE". Once you've done all that, you'll need to restart the server to get it to reread the config files. Guy

Hey List,

Quick question about AVPair. I have a Colubris Access Point which wants me to use the Colubris-AVPair attribute. The attribute is defined in a dictionary file, which is included in the main dictionary. This is what it looks like:

# Colubris dictionary - dictionary.colubris # # Enable by putting the line "$INCLUDE dictionary.colubris" into # the main dictionary file. # #

VENDOR Colubris 8744

# # Vendor-specific attributes # ATTRIBUTE Colubris-AVPair 0 string Colubris ATTRIBUTE Colubris-Intercept 1 integer Colubris

When I try to authenticate, I get "unknown-vendor 8744, size 30 = '' " for my attributes dump. What am I missing? Is there a separate file for defining vendors?

Any help appreciated.
