Cisco AP Vlan assignment when proxying EAP-PEAP?

[Palmer J.D.F.]

Cheers Josh. :)

That's pretty much the way we do the Roanmode stuff.
Just wasn't sure being EAP whether you could mess around with the return
packet.

Do you have any cunning solutions to how you might get around the reject
issue?  
I'd imagine it's quite a common scenario, IE wanting to let users know that
they are doing something wrong as opposed to just rejecting them. 
This must be one of the only redeeming features of web redirect. :-D

Thanks,
Jezz.

Yes - write a script that outputs the relevant attributes to stdout, and 
specify it in an "exec" clause in radiusd.conf, making sure you set 
packet_type = access-accept. Invoke the exec clause by placing it in 
post-proxy section. For example (assuming you've got the proxying working):

assign-vlan.sh:

  #!/bin/bash

  VLAN = "123"

  # We can also grab the RADIUS username attribute from the environment.
  # USER = $USER_NAME
  # This might be useful if you wanted to drop users
  # into different VLANs.
  # if ( $USER == "bujfxh at bristol.ac.uk ); then
  #  VLAN = "666"
  # fi

  echo "Tunnel-Medium-Type = 802"
  echo "Tunnel-Type = VLAN"
  echo "Tunnel-Private-Group-ID = $VLAN"

  exit 0

radiusd.conf:

  exec assign-vlan {
	program = "/path/to/assign-vlan.sh"
	input_pairs = proxy-reply
	output_pairs = proxy-reply
	wait = yes
	packet_type = Access-Accept
  }

  authorize {
	...
	# Make sure you put this AFTER the clause that invokes proxying
	assign-vlan
	...
  }

No; only a couple of attributes are permitted in Access-Reject packets.

I don't think it would be possible to "catch" Access-Rejects from IAS 
and cunningly turn them into Access-Accepts, either :-/ (well, it would 
be possible, but you'd need to hack FR to do this).
