Freeradius rlm_sql: Failed to create the pair: Invalid TLV specification (WiMAX MS)

[James T. Mugauri]

Hi,

I am running 2.1.12 in an attempt to auth Wimax users. However I am 
having difficulty defining TLVs for WiMAX-QoS-Descriptor and associated 
WiMAX-Packet-Flow-Descriptor

I used a post on the matter in the freeradius mailing list which 
suggested something to the effect of:

INSERT INTO radgroupreply (groupname, attribute, op, value) VALUES
('WiMAX_Test3', 'WiMAX-QoS-Id', ':=', '101'),
('WiMAX_Test3', 'WiMAX-Service-Class-Name', ':=', 'DATA'),
('WiMAX_Test3', 'WiMAX-Schedule-Type', ':=', 'Best-Effort'),
('WiMAX_Test3', 'WiMAX-Traffic-Priority', ':=', '1'),
('WiMAX_Test3', 'WiMAX-Maximum-Sustained-Traffic-Rate', ':=','512000'),
('WiMAX_Test3', 'WiMAX-Reduced-Resources-Code', ':=', '1'),

('WiMAX_Test3', 'WiMAX-Packet-Data-Flow-Id', ':=', '21'),
('WiMAX_Test3', 'WiMAX-Service-Data-Flow-Id', ':=', '21'),
('WiMAX_Test3', 'WiMAX-Direction', ':=', '1'),
('WiMAX_Test3', 'WiMAX-Activation-Trigger', ':=', '15'),
('WiMAX_Test3', 'WiMAX-Transport-Type', ':=', 'IPv4-CS'),
('WiMAX_Test3', 'WiMAX-Uplink-QOS-Id', ':=', '101'),
('WiMAX_Test3', 'WiMAX-Uplink-Classifier', ':=', 'permit in any src any 
dst any priority 1'),

...etc

This did not work, as the greenpacket SM keeps on trying to connect as 
if it is not authenticated, despite the following attributes being 
returned in the Access-Accept packet:
Sending Access-Accept of id 84 to 10.11.12.13 port 1812
     Framed-IP-Address := XXX.XX.12.12
     Framed-IP-Netmask := 255.255.255.224
     WiMAX-DNS-Server := XXX.XX.12.65
     Framed-Route := "XXX.XX.12.30"
     WiMAX-QoS-Id := 101
     WiMAX-Service-Class-Name := "DATA"
     WiMAX-Schedule-Type := Best-Effort
     WiMAX-Traffic-Priority := 1
     WiMAX-Maximum-Sustained-Traffic-Rate := 512000
     WiMAX-Reduced-Resources-Code := 1
     WiMAX-Packet-Data-Flow-Id := 22
     WiMAX-Service-Data-Flow-Id := 22
     WiMAX-Direction := Downlink
     WiMAX-Activation-Trigger := 15
     WiMAX-Transport-Type := IPv4-CS
     WiMAX-Uplink-QOS-Id := 101
     WiMAX-Uplink-Classifier := "permit in any src any dst any priority 1"
     WiMAX-QoS-Id += 102
     WiMAX-Service-Class-Name += "DATA"
     WiMAX-Schedule-Type += Best-Effort
     WiMAX-Traffic-Priority += 1
     WiMAX-Maximum-Sustained-Traffic-Rate += 400000
     WiMAX-Reduced-Resources-Code += 1
     WiMAX-Downlink-QOS-Id := 102
     WiMAX-Downlink-Classifier := "permit in any src any dst any priority 1"
     MS-MPPE-Recv-Key =

Finished request 4.

I thought i would add an attribute pair to be explicit that I am 
defining TLVs, by inserting the following rows in the database (at the 
appropriate rows by id):
('WiMAX_Test3', 'WiMAX-QoS-Descriptor', '=', '...'),
('WiMAX_Test3', 'WiMAX-Packet-Flow-Descriptor', '=', '...'),
...etc

but i then get the error specified in the subject above.

Can anyone shed light on how to correctly populate radgroupreply to 
ensure proper definition of WiMAX TLVs?

Or perhaps I am doing something else wrong?

Hopefully,

JamesTM
