Radclient Queries

[Himanshu Pandey]

Dear Friends,As suggested I went through the code of freeradius thoroughly and developed a reasonable understanding of the same. Now I want to do a practical exercise:Using radclient I want to create and send a dummy request to user module in order to take it's statistics.I would like to store username & password in a file.Please tell me what all steps do I have to perform in order to test the above scenario. Meaning which all files do I have to modify and how to perform the testing.Thanks in advance.Sonu

Good luck. As Alan said, if you have a specific need to modify the code then tell us 

what it is and we can advise you on the best way to achieve what you want.

http://doc.freeradius.org/libradius_8h.html#structVALUE__PAIR



They're stored in the above structure, and alloced on the heap at run time.



They're parented from either the REQUEST struct, or from a RADIUS_PACKET struct

to ensure they're cleaned up when the REQUEST is freed.



Fixed length values are stored in the value_data_t union, octets, text and tlv

attributes have dynamically allocated buffers parented off the VALUE_PAIR.

These buffers are pointed to by the value_data_t union.



VALUE_PAIRs are always allocated with pairalloc, and are freed using talloc_free

or pairfree (if you need to free a linked list of AVPs).



The vendor, number and type of attributes are in the DICT_ATTR struct. These are

usually allocated on startup when reading the config and dictionaries. The da

field of the VALUE_PAIR struct points to a DICT_ATTR struct.



VALUE_PAIR (text, octets, tlv) buffers should be considered immutable. If a new

value needs to be assigned, the old buffer is freed and a new one allocated.



talloc_free performs all necessary cleanup for VALUE_PAIRs.
