Can unlang do this?

I have.  Several times.  Maybe I'm just an idiot.

I've since learned this.  Thanks.

Sorry, mate.

Currently, I'm here:
authorize {
switch "%{Huntgroup-Name}" {
         case dialup {
                 update control {
                    Tmp-String-1 := "ou=accounts,dc=viptalk,dc=net"
                 }
                 ldap-localhost
         }
}
}

modules {
ldap-localhost {
	basedn = "%{Tmp-String-1}"
}
}

And getting:

	expand: %{Tmp-String-1} ->
rlm_ldap: unable to create basedn.

And trying this:

ldap-localhost {
	basedn = "%{control:Tmp-String-1}"
}

gets me closer, but I have quoting issues:

expand: %{control:Tmp-String-1} -> ou\3daccounts\2cdc\3dviptalk\2cdc 
\3dnet

I couldn't get anything to set the variable until I used an update  
section.  "man unlang" seemed to indicate control was the place to put  
it.

I'm doing exactly as you're suggesting and coming up empty.

When you say "documentation" I presume you mean the sample config files.

Lots of examples for setting variables in the users file.  Not so many  
for unlang.
