Why does 'switch' and case don't work?

:) Just to be clear, FreeRADIUS is a GREAT stuff.

Yes using if/elsif/else works,  yet i'm curious why switch and case
combination doesn't.

$LDAP-Group in switch statement expands nothing from `raidus -X`, in other
words, LDAP-Group is null, that's why it always goes down to `default` of
case statement.
