User-Name in the Accounting log is being stripped

[Clement Ogedengbe]

Thanks.

I am actually not using the detail file. I am using a customized "detail" section "accounting_log" defined in detail.log file. My detail.log file has the following sections:

detail auth_log {
        detailfile = ${radacctdir}/%Y%m%d/request-detail-%H:00
        header = "%{Packet-Src-IP-Address} - %t"
        log_packet_header = yes
        detailperm = 0600
        suppress {
                User-Password
        }
}

detail reply_log {
        detailfile = ${radacctdir}/%Y%m%d/reply-detail
        header = "%{Packet-Src-IP-Address} Returned from %{home_server:ipaddr} for User %{User-Name} - %t"
        detailperm = 0600
}

detail accounting_log {
  detailfile = ${radacctdir}/%Y%m%d/accounting-detail
  header = "%{Packet-Src-IP-Address} - %t"
  detailperm = 0600
}

Below is extract of the accounting section in sites-enabled/default file
accounting {
#       detail
        accounting_log
        radutmp
        attr_filter.accounting_response
}

Below is extract from reply_log for a particular user
10.255.252.248 Returned from roaming0.ja.net for User xxxxx at live.ucl.ac.uk - Tue Apr 15 10:49:59 2014
        Packet-Type = Access-Accept
        Tunnel-Private-Group-Id:0 = "222"
        User-Name = "xxxxx at live.">>>>>>>>> "The user-name here is not the same as the one in the header."

Below is extract from accounting-detail for the same user
10.255.252.248 - Tue Apr 15 10:50:36 2014
        User-Name = "xxxxx at live."
        NAS-Port = 13
        NAS-IP-Address = 10.255.252.248
        Framed-IP-Address = 172.21.30.255

Many Thanks

Clement

  OK.

  This is why we say to read the debug output.  It would tell you what's going on.

  In this case, you've edited the "reply_log" version of the detail module to add the header.  You have NOT edited the "detail" module which is used by the accounting section.

  Do that, and the problem will be fixed.
