  I’d suggesting using 3.0.  The server caches LDAP groups internally.  Fast, and more flexible.

  Yes.  Version 2 can’t really handle long strings.  This is due to a limitation of RADIUS, and of the v2 design.  Version 3 is better.

It is inside of an if condition.b)8000 characters should be allowed as a string length (if not finally assigned). c) Man unlang says also: However, the output of that SQL query should be no more than 253 characters in length <- Is this the Problem?

  Redis is saying that the server didn’t give it enough space to write the data.
