rlm_python and the Tunnel-Private-Group-Id attribute

[Bob Brandt]

Just to close out this thread with a solution...

Turns out that neither rlm_python nor freeradius were the problem.
They are working perfectly.  The problem was my idiot wireless
administrator! Once I beat the password out of him and properly
configured the wireless switch, everything started working!

Sorry for the hassle.

The problem turned out that I was passing a string to the "Tunnel-Private-Group-Id" attribute instead of an integer. Once I removed the quotes from the VLAN ID everything was working perfectly.
