Modifying User-Name and User-Password attributes in a module

[Arash Yadegarnia]

Hi,

I've been working on a freeradius module which will operate in pre-proxy 
and post-proxy mode. I need to modify the user-password  
(PW_USER_PASSWORD) attribute in pre-proxy and return an RLM_MODULE_UPDATED.

My first question is, Do I only need to update the user-password 
attribute in proxy packet ? or I also have to update user-password vp in 
packet structure ? I mean
    vp = pairfind (request->packet->vps, PW_USER_PASSWORD);

Also, what are those "username" and "password" value pairs in main 
request structure ?
AFAIK, they're not just pointers to values in packet, proxy, reply and 
proxy_reply. Do I have to update them too ?


And last question, Is it safe to modify the Proxy-State attribute in 
pre-proxy stage? somewhere in event.c, the comments says that, RFC 
requires it (Proxy-State)  but freeradius doesn't need it, and just 
fills it with packet->id (which is a random number). Since RFC forbids 
adding more than one Proxy-State too the packet, and also having in mind 
that I don't want to introduce a new attribute (bothering dictionary 
files), Can I use the same Proxy-State (filed by freeradius with 
packet->id) to store my own data in it ?


Thanks,
