radius server reply

[Dinil Divakaran]

Greetings !!

I am using freeradius 1.0.4 server. I am trying to achieve the following.

The radius client is supposed to send username, password and a text (say, abc).  The server is supposed to authenticate using the system /etc/passwd and shadow (which it does currently). Apart from this the server should take the text and find another matching text (abc -> xyz). If such a matching entry exists, the radius server should send the matching text (xyz, here) along with the Access packet, or else it should send Access Reject packet.

This can be achieved if we are able to define new attributes (like `Framed-IP-Address'), in which case we can add an entry

Check-Item="abc", Reply-Item="xyz"

for a user in the users file. But, unfortunately there are no user-defined attributes that are permitted ! Is there any other way to get this done ?

Thanks in advance.
