showing NAS-IP of 127.0.01 instead of

[Matt Ashfield]

I just figured that out via a sniff. Thanks for the note. I'll go after the
requesting software now.

The NAS is sending that attribute within the request - ask the NAS vendor
why they are sending 127.0.0.1.  I've seen this issue with Lantronix console
servers (not sure if that's the NAS you are using).  They eventually updated
their firmware to use the correct address.  As a workaround, I did the
following in the authorize section of the default server (before preprocess
if you want huntgroup name lookup to work properly):

 

        if (NAS-IP-Address == "127.0.0.1") {

           update request {

                NAS-IP-Address := "%{Client-IP-Address}"

           }

        }
