Sorry, yeah, I meant fail, not crash: you're right. I completely forgot I could default to anything else. Thanks fort the reply!! On Mon, Jul 29, 2019 at 8:28 PM Alan DeKok <aland@deployingradius.com> wrote:

server. It seems to work perfectly unless I try to send an attribute that is not defined or used at the time. For this reason, the linelog module fails to send any data. Is there any way to make it default to something else like an empty value so it does not crash instead?

It shouldn't *crash*. It should just fail.

See "man unlang". You can use optional expansions:

%{%{User-Name}:-?}

Will expand to %{User-Name} if it exists, otherwise to "?"

What can I do when I have a bunch of attributes on a linelog module and some of them are not on the standard dictionaries?

Add them to the dictionaries.

Is there a way to default to something and avoid freeradius to crash (well, it's just the module what crashes)

As I said before, it doesn't "crash". Stop using the wrong word to describe a problem.

Let me explain: Previously, I asked how can I default to a value in case an attribute was empty: That part is fixed. Now, I have a bunch (like 50 or 60) attributes on a linelog and some of them are not on the standard dictionaries (Those values have been handed down to me, so I have no easy way of finding out which device could they correspond to) Of course, because some of those values are unknown to freeradius, the module crashes and it's reject time! The log does not specify which specific attribute is the offending one, since they are all concatenated with a comma on this fashion: "%{%{User-Name}:-},%{%{NAS-IP-Address}:-},%{%{NAS-Port}:-},....."

Appart from finding out which is the correct dictionary and importing it to my setup, is there a magic way to say to freeradius "no, if you don't know what this attribute is, show nothing, but don't crash" Knowing which attribute is failing would be superb.

Edit the configuration so that it only contains attributes that are in the dictionaries. This isn't difficult. If you add random garbage to the configuration, it won't work. The solution is NOT to have the server "work around" the garbage. The solution is to not put garbage into the configuration. Alan DeKok.
