FREE RADIUS client

Hello,

 I think that's a meaningless question.

I am under the impression that RADIUS client (radclient) is itself
is doing the UTF-8 conversion as per RFC 2865 while sending multilingual
username attribute
if it is not in UTF-8 form.

So I think this is not at all a meaning less.
correct me if i am wrong.

   Yes, You have hit the correct nail.
I am talking about radclient only.
If supplied USER-NAme is not UTF-8 encoded by some means
suppose the scenario where UTF-8 support is not there then
at that time what radclient does.

Does it send the same multilingual charcters to the RADIUS server or
first of all convert that into UTF-8 as per RFC 2865 and send it to
RADIUS server in ACCESS REQUEST packet as attribute or
just send as it is to RADIUS server?
